ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate sacrifice tendency of taboo as undertaken to the subject of removal or sacrifice in the poetry of Gi Hyeong-do. The cause of ominousness and rigidity appearing in his poems is not attributable to the individual psychological level but in the issues of community that he encountered with. Namely, the poetic sense of nervousness is generated by keeping or breaking the taboo that is contemplated unconsciously for maintaining the community’s identity and order. The unfamiliar expatriate emerging in the local community and death of a father who created a crack to the family community would be an ominous situation of the community encountered with Gi Hyeong-do. In his works, the taboo of community is expressed in precaution and avoidance regarding the subject of the taboo. Under the world of taboo where it is undertaken from the implicit consent of community, the sacrifice does not bring in any issue that the discriminating structure has internalized to be unreasonable. ｢Mist｣ and ｢Professional｣ have the common point in having a sacrifice within the conflicting relationship of expatriate and internal resident. The sacrifice becomes the complete arbitrator to take on the ominousness that threatens the existence of community. The sacrifice ceremony is established on the basis of social imagination that the element of ominousness can be transferred into the innocent sacrifice and may be eliminated together with the sacrifice of subject. ｢Risk Household‧1969｣ and ｢Wuthering Heights｣ display that speaking of the death of father is the taboo of the family community. Sisters break up the taboo and look straight into the reality, but mother avoids the death of father. Sisters that sacrificed with the crack of their father and son who intended to succeed the father’s right are marched into a new order of family community through the ceremony of taboo. The sacrifice ceremony of taboo appearing in the poetry of Gi Hyeong-do displays the violent feature of community applied on individual. That is appearing in the expulsion or removal in discriminated or hierarchical order applied against the individual in a way of encountering certain ominousness imagined by the community. The casual system of taboo is unyieldingly and powerfully reproduced following the social imagination to protect the diversified order. Therefore, this study is a discussion with timeliness in conjunction with out general experience to live in the present time.
