A Study on the Community Consciousness in Park Doo-jin’s Poetry

This text is contributed to identifying the aspects of Park Doo-jin’s community consciousness in his mid-term poetry which deals with humans and society. For this purpose, I checked the character of the composition of Park Doo-jin’s poetry. It has always been characterized by the contradiction of negative reality and a willingness to confront it, and the conflicts between the opposing ones eventually transcend reconciliation. In particular, the dynamic imagination shown in the process of reaching such a state has differentiated Park Doo-jin from other poets. Park s Doo-jin’s willingness to overcome negative life has been exerted in the face of all the challenging circumstances, which is due to his belief in the resurrection of a Christian. The thougt of Jesus’ revival supported by Jesus’ historical existence enabled Park Doo-jin to maintain a bright and hopeful tone in any gloomy situation. In addition, such resurrection ideas, which are revealed to be the willingness to overcome a negative life, were made to have a vision of a democratic republic as a horizontal community consciousness. Democratic Republic is a combination of democracy and Republicanism, which is unlike formal democracy, implies practical and public democracy in terms of economic equality and equal human rights of all citizens. Korean society has failed to pay attention to the sense of community that it should maintain as a republic, as the continuous dictatorship in Korea has forced Korean people to obtain formal democracy instead of practical and public democracy. For this reason, it was very radical and significant that Park Doo-jin called for economic and human rights equality in the 4.19 revolution, shouting Democratic Republic. That is not only the confirm of popular sovereignty but also the show of national ideal of building an equal state based on it. In this period, it was due to his thought of the early church community that Park Doo-jin was able to maintain a horizontal community consciousness. The early Christian church considered everyone in God s faith not discriminated by conditions but as a family. The primitive communistic ideals practiced in Christianity were realized as national visions of Park Doo-jin starting with 4.19.
