Community of Feelings
![]() |
Description
Book Introduction
To write is to row towards some community!
This is literary critic Shin Hyeong-cheol's first collection of essays, published three years after "Ethics of Downfall."
『Community of Feeling』 originated from the good works of the world that he saw, heard, read, and encountered from the spring of 2006 to the winter of 2009.
The good works he speaks of are those who “came to me and took away what I could never get back or left behind what I could never give back,” thus creating a beautiful flame that caused a faint situation.
He knows very well that “feelings are vague but fundamental, and because they are fundamental, they are difficult to share,” and he has divided the archetypes of those feelings that made him cry with sadness or emotion into six parts.
As the so-called poet, poetry collection, world, novel, film, and face of poetry.
And in between these, with the buoys of the prelude, interlude, and postlude, it provides an opportunity to look again at the 'beginning,' the 'beginning,' the 'bare face' of all the texts contained here, namely poetry, novels, and criticism.
The benefit we can gain from books is the confidence they give us, the courage to decide and pursue.
This is the book of jealousy that calls forth the first and last desire of literature that makes you want to read and write.

■What does posthumous criticism see? - Three values of literary works
Into the book
The feeling is vague, but it is fundamental, and as fundamental as it is, it is difficult to share.
I may have danced in front of poets and novelists who were trying to sleep, and readers may have fallen asleep while I danced.
Sometimes we get on a boat, but most of the time we don't know whether the boat will fly high or fall off a cliff.
Writing is like rowing towards some community, even though you know it.
I hope that the title of this book, which at first glance seems grandiose, will be understood in its simplest and most earnest sense.
The title was 'Community of Feelings'.
According to one book, the three powers of human beings are thinking, wanting, and feeling.
The verb 'feel' means 'to cry out of sadness or emotion.'
I think perhaps reason and will are just a rationalization or systematization of that feeling.
What I wrote down in many of the articles in this book must have been my feelings.
Good works have come to me and taken away things I can never get back or left behind things I can never give back.
I tried to put that vague situation into sentences and share it with my readers.
---From "Introduction"
Rather than stating the truth carelessly, the poet must build a sophisticated linguistic structure in which the truth resides.
Poetry is not a place where truth is expressed (and thus destroyed), but rather a place where it is hidden (and thus preserved).
---From Jeonju's "Where is Poetry Headed?"
When people meet and the corners of the support are worn away, that would be love.
It is a miracle that a square becomes a circle.
This may also be the way lyric poetry relates to the world.
---Part 1: Without resentment or melodrama, from "Son Taek-su"
When good poetry speaks beautifully about beautiful things, it does not mean that the world is beautiful enough now, but that beautiful things should be the masters of this world.
---Part 2: Tears shed by the mother tongue, from "Can I talk about the salt warehouse?"
I have always believed that literature should grapple with the inevitable rather than assert the right.
I believe that literature should move at the pace of the most skeptical, while sighing with the most cowardly.
---From "How a Novel Walks"
Don't try to write beautifully, write accurately.
The desire to write beautifully leads to repetition.
The truth of the repetition is one.
Not being able to control what you want to write.
---Part 4 Breaking the Frozen Sea, from "And then, read the cover"
Film criticism cannot become film, music criticism cannot become music, but literary criticism can become literature.
It is the only writing that clings to ‘something’ and becomes that ‘something’.
I may have danced in front of poets and novelists who were trying to sleep, and readers may have fallen asleep while I danced.

Publisher's Review
I say this without pride or resignation,
Reading and writing are almost my whole life!
Literary critic Shin Hyeong-cheol's first collection of essays, "The Ethics of Downfall."
To write is to row towards some community!
Literary critic Shin Hyeong-cheol publishes his first collection of prose.
This is his second book, published in three years, since his first collection of essays, The Ethics of Decline, was published in December 2008.
The resonance of the title, ‘Community of Feeling’.
In his previously published work, he has already shaken our resonance with the point of 'feeling' with sentences more beautiful than poetry and a structure more dramatic than a novel.
“Because I love you, I can feel the feeling that is gripping you right now and enter into the world of that feeling.
In this world of feeling, we meet.
Only those who love each other can form a community of feelings.
“Love is a power.” (From “Ethics of the Fall”) That’s how he grasped that feeling and embraced love.
A ‘community of feeling’ that heads towards that love… … It is a word that reflects the eyes in a deep well.
It is a word that has a nuance of being round rather than sharp and circle rather than triangle.
Nuance… …maybe that’s the word that best sums up this book in one word.
How does the feeling come? Because that's how the feeling comes.
Feelings are something that can only be barely guessed by the nuances that remain in the open taste buds of the feeler.
"Community of Feeling" is a book that originated from the good works of the world that he saw, heard, read, and encountered from the spring of 2006 to the winter of 2009.
The good works he speaks of are those who “came to me and took away what I could never get back or left behind what I could never give back,” thus creating a beautiful flame that caused a faint situation.
He knows very well that “feelings are vague but fundamental, and because they are fundamental, they are difficult to share,” and he has divided the archetypes of those feelings that made him cry with sadness or emotion into six parts.
As the so-called poet, poetry collection, world, novel, film, and face of poetry.
And in between, with the buoys of the prelude, interlude, and postlude, it provides an opportunity to look again at the 'beginning,' the 'beginning,' the 'bare face' of all the texts contained here, namely poetry, novels, and criticism.
Part 1 is a collection of stories that were serialized in the Kyunghyang Shinmun under the title, “Without Resentment or Melancholy.”
Starting with Kang Jeong, a total of 10 poets including Hwang Byeong-seung are arranged in alphabetical order. This is a kind of 'Poet's Dictionary', which provides a preview of the world of poetry of one poet and one poet in about 10 pages of manuscript paper. It was previously titled 'Korean Poet's Dictionary' and was expected to become an important supplement to Korean poetry.
It is a plan to have it.
As a poet said, the appendix is “more free and more daring because it is behind, and more interesting than the main text.”
Part 2 is a collection of articles serialized in 『Hankyoreh 21』 under the title ‘Tears shed by the mother tongue.’
At the time of publication, he collected the poetry collections that were hottest in his eyes and the poems he wanted to read together that fit the mood of the times, and he mixed literature and society together.
Part 3 is a collection of works that were serialized in the university newspaper under the title ‘Society of Lost Poets.’
He presented us with a novel example of a current affairs commentary that knows how to use his unique style of writing while maintaining the tension from his calm aim to the moment of hitting the target, showing where and how his current affairs gaze is directed.
Part 4 is a collection of stories that were serialized in 『Sisa IN』 under the title ‘Breaking the Frozen Sea.’
In this example, he clearly shows his affection for the classics of Korean and world literature that he has read, and for the texts that are destined to become classics in the future. It would be good to read the stories about the movies and the novels that were serialized in 『Foot』 under the title of Part 5, 'Great Crazy Stories', side by side.
And the last part, Part 6, is titled 'We Must Not Meet' and presents various methods of reading poetry through the poems of poets Lee Moon-jae, Kwon Hyuk-woong, Na Hee-deok, and Lee Su-jeong. This is a preview of the next collection of criticism and also a chapter in which he declares that he has returned to his main profession, criticism.
"Community of Feeling" is a relatively easy read.
Most of the volume is finished in about two pages.
That doesn't mean it was easy to write.
If there is someone who can make a heavy topic light, his or her skills must be considerable.
The benefit we can gain from this book is the confidence that gives us the courage to follow in his footsteps.
This is the book of jealousy that calls forth the first and last desire of literature that makes you want to read and write.
As a side note, if there's one tool you absolutely need to read this book, it's a pencil.
If I had just a pencil, this book would have no trouble becoming me. If this spring is a flower feast full of sentences I want to underline, then take them and engrave them in your heart.
That filth will stain me for a long time, a book is something that clothes us in that color for a lifetime, a feeling is precisely the nuance of that pouring and being poured, and we, a community that rows our whole lives in pursuit of it, that is why it is also a symbol of life.
Reading and writing are almost my whole life!

"Community of Feeling" is a relatively easy read.
Most of the volume is finished in about two pages.
That doesn't mean it was easy to write.
If there is someone who can make a heavy topic light, his or her skills must be considerable.
The benefit we can gain from this book is the confidence that gives us the courage to follow in his footsteps.
This is the book of jealousy that calls forth the first and last desire of literature that makes you want to read and write.
As a side note, if there's one tool you absolutely need to read this book, it's a pencil.
If I had just a pencil, this book would have no trouble becoming me. If this spring is a flower feast full of sentences I want to underline, then take them and engrave them in your heart.
That filth will stain me for a long time, a book is something that clothes us in that color for a lifetime, a feeling is precisely the nuance of that pouring and being poured, and we, a community that rows our whole lives in pursuit of it, that is why it is also a symbol of life.
