영문 초록

John Ashbery has presented an interesting style that radically disrupts the traditional system of linguistic representation and promise of interpretive meaning. He has been extremely suspicious, even contemptuous, of "meaning" because meaning is nothing but a shared discourse within us, which has founded the system of representation or interpretation that we use today Ashbery therefore has diverged from the predictable roles of language into which we are cast, putting against it odd particularities of the chaos, the disorder that cannot be signified or codified into the system of order Strategically, he overtly eliminates climatic moments such as illuminations, dramatic turning points, or other peaks of intensity, all of which he associates with the unquenchable desire for structural uinty and meaning. Accordingly, his poems often block all our attempts to rationalize his disruptive words and images, to make them conform to a coherent interpretative system. For this reason, Ashbery's poetry can be criticized as a failure to communicate with the reader, but what he has been up to is to find another way of communicating beyond the limits of language.
