The purpose of this thesis is to clarify that the postcolonial effort of Shin Dong-yeop displayed imperialistic attribute in Western European values and thoughts, and that it was an attempt to
overcome the negative effect on culture. Shin Dong-yeop sees Western Europe, accepted under the good name of modernization, as a contribution in enhancing Western Europe structure, and shows anti-civilizational aspect criticizing it.And he versifies by borrowing from our nation’s tales in order to oppose Western Europe’s control based on this anti-civilizational awareness, and also attempts to restore women’s values that have been totally eliminated under the dichotomy world of Western Europe.And he refuses such age of oppression and exploitation, and draws the community based on anarchism which he has been interested in as the alternative of reality.
The negative reality perceived in Shin Dong-yeop’s poetry as a problematic situation continues until today.Therefore, Shin Dong - yeop’s resistance disobeying injustice is not fixated in the 1960’s, but continues to the conquest of modern spiritual and cultural colonialism.Even if globalization is a conspiracy of a specific group contributing to specific culture generalization, it is now an irresistible periodical flow.Postcolonial value of Shin Dong-yeop’s literature shines through in the present times when there is an invisible war.
