AB - This paper examines the characteristics of Baek Seok’s poems with a focus on ‘childhood’. The imaginative power found in his poems should be seen from a perspective which is different from the enlightening features in children’s literature. It is not like the concepts of children’s literature implied by ‘sonyen’, and existing distinction among genres. While most children’s literary works concern ‘the children that should be’, Baek Seok’s poems tend to give shape to ‘the modernity that should be’. ‘Childhood’ in his poem thus effectively encourages the restoration of the community spirit and peaceful order of the past. ‘Becoming-child’ in his poems represent a manifestation of literary modernity made correspondent to the social modernity of multi-faceted life in reality. Accordingly, this is presumed to be one particular stage of aesthetic modernity reached by 1930’s literature.
Analyzing ‘childhood’ in Baek Seok’s poem should be seen as part of a work giving a new perspective through which we can revisit from today’s standpoint the achievements of his poems as well as the literature in those days in general. Furthermore, it could be a task to reproduce the past with a new perspective and rethink the value of his literature. Through such a task, his poems will have meanings in such a way as to illuminate today’s literary landscape and guide directions in which for the literary world of today to move. For this purpose, a close examination need to be conducted of a variety of works and literary activities after the end of the Korean War.
