Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the characteristics of a digital culture, its negative effects, especially automatism of perception, a poetic strategy against automatism of perception and the utility of poetry including the therapeutic function of poetry. The new technologies offer us various experience, great opportunities and rosy future by freeing us from boring and laborious tasks, and difficult decisions. Through the excessive and habitual use of new technologies, we may become too dependent on machines, losing our thinking abilities, sensibility, perception and creativity. Therefore, we need poetry to recover the sensation of life and make us feel things. Reading poetry allows us to look into someone else's soul and cultivate the ability to empathize. As a healing fountain, poetry leads us to a way for a change of heart, a recovery of psychic health and universal love through perfect communion in ourselves and in society. Furthermore we need a systematic and in-depth study of digital poetry as well as traditional poetry.

이 연구의 목적은 디지털문화에 잠재한 폐해들 중 하나인 지각의 자동화에 대한 대응전략으로서 지각의 자동화 현상에 대한 시의 지각의 낯설게 하기 효과, 시의 치료적 기능과 시적 장치로서 은유 등을 포함한 시의 효용성을 고찰하는 것이다. 따라서 이 연구는 디지털 문화의 속성과 그 폐해, 특히 디지털문화의 부정적인 영향인 지각의 자동화현상의 원인과 결과를 분석하고 시는 이에 대한 해결책으로서 유용한 도구가 될 수 있는지를 분석하였다. 디지털시대의 급격한 기술혁신의 결과 우리는 다양한 경험과 많은 기회를 얻게 되고 장밋빛 미래를 전망한다. 그러나 우리는 인공지능과 디지털기기에 대한 무의식적이고 습관적인 의존으로 지각의 자동화의 위험에 빠질 수 있다. 시는 사물들을 낯설게 하며 형식을 까다롭게 하여 지각의 자동화를 막고 상상력, 문학능력과 창의성을 증진시킨다. 또한 시의 치료적 기능은 새로운 경험을 하며 공감능력을 키우게 하고 때로는 상처 받은 마음에 위안과 평화를 주어 정신건강을 회복하게 한다. 전통적인 시뿐만 아니라 디지털 융합기술로 탄생한 하이퍼텍스트시 등을 포함한 다양한 형태의 다지털시에 대해 앞으로 체계적이고 심도 있는 분석과 연구가 필요하다.
