Celan Root. Poem - Language - Abyss

Abstract

In Raíz Celan. Poema – Lengua – Abismo José Manuel Cuesta Abad and Carlota Fernández-Jáuregui Rojas observe the poetic work of Paul Celan from his own poetic thinking about the borderline experience of language in modern poetry. In this study, an approach of grat theoretical and literary deph is elaborated, according to which poetic reality will be the response of an impossible dialogue with the extra-human, with the unspeakable that from an unattainable place calls for speech, experience that constitutes the disaster of language. With this, Cuesta Abad and Rojas address issues of Celan's poetics and hermeneutics, as well as vital events and encounters with great names in philosophy such as Adorno or Heidegger, moving away from explanatory or biographical interpretations to focus on how each of these elements fed the construction of the Celanian lyric of disaster.
