Understanding the main indicators of the development of Korean literature, the factors of Japanese colonization that influenced poetry and songs, and, accordingly, the mood in society at that time, as well as outlining potential strategies for overcoming oppression through self-expression through symbolism is an urgent issue in the field of modern philology.In the dissertation, a comprehensive analysis of the concept of evolutionary processes of poetry, the main stages of the emergence of symbolism and the discourse around the term is carried out, the key features of such factors in the era of Japanese colonization are identified. The study provides a description of a number of genre theories and religious foundations of Korean literature of the first half of the 20th century, among which the main attention is paid to the development of literary symbolism in poetry and the connection between this concept and the processes of Westernization, that is, the influence of Western and Japanese cultures.The purpose of the dissertation research is to analyze the evolutionary processes of Korean poetic heritage of the first half of the 20th century, to identify the conditions of poetic symbolism in the works of Han Yong-un (한용운), Kim Sowol (김소월), Yi Sang-hwa (이상화) during the colonial period. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were defined:• to investigate the historical conditions, to highlight the main social influences, political features and the change of mood of the poets during the entire studied period, which affected the poetry as a result;• identify and characterize the features of evolutionary processes in poetry, the relationship between symbolism, metaphor and poetic genres;• determine the influence of religion on symbolism in works, concepts of Confucianism, Buddhism, which were most similar to poetry, outline the influence on poetics.The object of the study is the poetry during the era of Japanese colonization, based on the examples of selected poetry of Han Yong-un, Kim Sowol and Yi Sang-hwa. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research was literature, history and linguistics. The subject of the study is the characteristics and peculiarities of the evolution of Korean poetry, which are reflected in the works of 1910-1945. An analysis of archival, library, educational, Internet materials, original works, a comparison of translated literature, scientific publications and analytical special articles, a study of the peculiarities of translation by native speakers and scientists was carried out. The analysis was limited by the literature available to the authors within local and foreign libraries, the Internet, and languages available for processing. The research was supported and selected by the Korean Collection Consortium of North America for a travel grant to the Harvard University Libraries (Cambridge, MA) in 2019 to supplement the dissertation with additional sources.The scientific novelty of the dissertation research "Evolutionary processes in Korean poetry during the times of Japanese colonization (based on the works of Han Yong-un, Kim Sowol, Yi Sang-hwa)" consists in several key aspects:• Systematic analysis of literary and cultural interrelationships: The study includes an in-depth analysis of the works of three defining poets – Han Yong-un, Kim Sowol and Yi Sang-hwa – who wrote during the Japanese colonization of Korea. This allows us to find out what specific literary and cultural influences influenced their poetry and how they perceived and adapted changes in society.• Analysis of the use of artistic devices: The dissertation examines the use of various artistic devices such as allusion, metaphor, allegory, etc., in the poetry of these poets. The study analyzes how these poets used these artistic means to express their ideas and experiences during the difficult times of colonization.• Reconstruction of the historical context: The dissertation examines the role of historical events and circumstances in the creative process of poets. Analyzes how the impact of Japanese colonization affected poetry and how poets responded to social change.• Comparison and generalization: The dissertation reveals common features and differences in the poetry of three poets and attempts to summarize their contributions to Korean poetry during the colonial era.• Influence on the contemporary poetic tradition: The study highlights the influence of these poets' works on the contemporary Korean poetic tradition and literary heritage.Based on this, here is a detailed analysis of the points:1) First done:• For the first time, research work was carried out on evolutionary processes in Korean poetry of the first half of the 20th century.• For the first time, the works of Han Yong-un, Kim Sowol and Yi Sang-hwa were examined from the point of view of the evolution of poetic devices and symbolism.• The first substantiated study of allusive use in Korean poetry.2) What has been improved and studied in detail:• The methods of analyzing poetic texts in the context of their evolutionary development have been improved.• The means of allusion, metaphor, metonymy and other poetic techniques in the works of the selected authors are studied in detail.• Historical, cultural and literary aspects of the era of Japanese colonization and their influence on Korean poetry are studied.3) What is clarified in the text of the dissertation:• The characteristics of evolutionary changes in poetry, in particular changes in the use of allusions and other literary devices, are clarified.• The specifics of the use of metaphors, metonymies and allusions in selected poetic texts have been clarified.• The relationship between the evolution of Korean poetry and external influences from the time of Japanese colonization is clarified.Such clarifications, studies and methodological approaches are important for the development of scientific understanding of the evolution of Korean poetry in the specified period and its impact on the literary heritage of these authors.In general, the dissertation study "Evolutionary processes in Korean poetry during the times of Japanese colonization" is marked by the originality of the approach to the analysis and study of Korean poetry in the context of colonization, which makes it an important addition to the modern study of Korean literature and history.The theses presented have important practical and theoretical significance. From a scientific point of view, they offer several alternative approaches to the terms used by Ukrainian researchers to describe the concepts and characteristics of evolutionary processes and symbolism. The results of this study can serve as a basis for further scientific developments, in particular, in the study of strategies for studying genres and concepts of metaphor, as well as for the analysis of the further evolution of Korean poetry and the conditions of Westernization during the Japanese occupation. The conclusions of the dissertation can find practical application in the educational process during the teaching of philological subjects.The results of the conducted research will be useful for the further study of Korean literary studies and a basis for future philologists studying in this direction. They can be used when teaching courses on Korean country studies and literary studies. The dissertation work has practical significance in connection with the possibility of using its results in conducting research in the field of the Korean language and the history of Korean literature. The obtained data can be useful in the creation of literary portraits, compilation of anthologies, as well as in the development of textbooks and educational materials devoted to the literature of Korea of the 20th century.
