카롤린 칼송의 ｢프네우마｣에 나타난 공기 이미지의 상호매체적 전환 - 바슐라르의 역동적 상상력을 중심으로 -

초록

This study aims to analyze the intermedial mechanism through which Carolyn Carlson’s Pneuma (2014) reconfigures Gaston Bachelard’s dynamic imagination by transforming the aerial image developed in Air and Dreams(1943) into embodied and kinetic forms. Rather than tracing symbolic correspondences, the research focuses on the generative process in which poetic images migrate from textual reverie to choreographic expression within Carlson’s conception of “poésie visuelle”. The analysis first clarifies how Bachelard’s notions of dynamic imagination and verticality provide an operative framework for Carlson’s movement-based rearticulation of the aerial image. It then investigates the seven principal scenes of Pneuma as stanza-like poetic segments, demonstrating how contrasts— lightness and gravity, ascent and descent, white and black—activate a continuous unfolding of imaginative energy. Ultimately, the study argues that Pneuma constitutes an intermedial creation in which the aerial image acquires bodily life, revealing a distinctive mode of text-to-movement transformation.
