Variazioni Belliche di Amelia Rosselli
Title
in English: On Freedom and Captivity:
some reflections on Variazioni Belliche
by Amelia Rosselli
Abstract
Due to her linguistic experimentalism and
her attempt at unmasking mystifying cultural
and poetic forms, the poetry of Amelia Rosselli
(1930-1996) can be compared to the experience
of Gruppo 63. On the other hand, her adoption
of a closed metric form, which she theorized
in the essay Spazi metrici included in Variazioni
Belliche (1964), shows how distant her poetry
is from the open forms employed by the Italian
Neoavantgard. In my article I will try to
show how the discourse on form and anti-form
in Amelia Rosselli’s poetry, and in
particular in her collection Variazioni belliche,
proves to be tragically intertwined with the
reflection that the poet specularly develops
on a thematic level around the issue of freedom
and the strictly connected issue of captivity.
Keywords: Amelia Rosselli,
freedom, captivity, group 63

Une
lecture de Celan: di-visions de la forme
Title
in English: A reading of Celan: di-visions
of the form
Abstract
The opposition between form and anti-form
may seem alien to the works of Paul Celan:
indeed his poetry calls for other names than
morpho-phonetics. It may be that Celan tried
to situate himself beyond the dividing line
between formal and antiformal, in a place
where language, articulated in its breaking,
isn’t but the sheer judgement of schibboleth,
nothing but a secret whisper, a “chiffre
du chiffre”, according Derrida’s
formula. The collection Von Schwelle zu Schwelle
includes a piece titled Zwiegestalt, which
means double “figure” or “form”
– “biform” one could say.
A “biformal form” is precisely
a form split by the mirage of its reflection,
like a form which is given a form for no other
reason than to favour its division. It is
undoubtedly out of this duplicity of form
that we shall start rethinking the opposition
between form and anti-form.
Keywords: Celan, language,
schiboleth, duplicity of form

Die
Anti- Form in der österreichischen Dichtung
in der 2. Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts

Title
in English: The Anti-form in the Austrian
Poetry of the Latter Half of the 20th Century,
as exemplified in the works of HC Artmann
and Ernst Jandl
Abstract
HC Artmann (1921-2000) and E. Jandl (1925-2000),
the two poets here considered, innovated the
bucolic literary production in Austrian dialect.
It is an experimental poetic genre employing
clichéd themes which often drifted
into triviality and macabre. Members of the
Wiener Gruppe, Artmann and Jandl have the
critique of the language elaborated by the
Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein as
their basis and move from the idea that the
sentence is an image of the reality. The two
authors develop this concept employing expressionist,
surrealist and dada elements in order to create
an ensemble of sentences. They no longer pose
the question of form and anti-form in poetry,
since their writing is only determined by
the reality and the way the poet peirceives
it. Within the philosophical, intellectual
and cultural context of the 20th Century,
their poetry is not anti-formal, but rather
other-formal.
Keywords: dialect, philosophy
of language, anti-form, other-form, Artmann,
Jandl

Poésie et peinture chez Baudelaire,

Title
in English: Desire of language and adventures
of lines, poetry and painting in the work
of Baudelaire, Hofmannsthal and Michaux
Abstract
The thought upon the limits of language invites
to think the link between the borders of poetic
and graphic signs. Following the evolution
from the end of the nineteenth century to
the end of the twentieth century, from Baudelaire
to Michaux, I analyse the poetic expression
of a desire of language, “la rage de
l’expression” of Francis Ponge,
that guides the research of new forms, forms
to invest and forms to change for the poetry
looking for a place and a way of metamorphosis
Keywords: representation,
limits, correspondences, alterity, shift,
esthetical independence

Opéra
et pas-opéras de Tarkos
Title
in English: Opera and non-operas of Tarkos
Abstract
What does it happen if infinitives
become lyric subjects?
The cage, the libretto of opera written
by the poet Christophe Tarkos in 1999, offers
some formal specificities which distinguish
it from the poetic writings of the author.
We develop how the kind imposes some connotations
on enunciatives ambivalences. Because the
prospect for an anti-opera is as incongruous
as the search for a discrete distribution
is enthralling. Initially, in opera as in
poetry, the texts of Tarkos are strictly interdependent
of their object and dramatize their dynamics
at the rhythm of the poem. Mainly, the uncertain
enunciation, more or less supported by the
kind where they are, give a poetry which wants
to be revolutionary, each time differently.
Keywords: opera, statement,
music and poetry, Christophe Tarkos, objective
poetry

Le
Réenchantement du monde dans la poésie
de Marguerite Yourcenar
Title
in English: Reenchanting the world in
Marguerite Yourcenar’s poetry
Abstract
All throughout the 20th Century,
and in particular after World War II, we have
been assisting to a process of secularization,
whose corollary has been disenchantment of
the world. Max Weber theorized it already
in 1913. Marguerite Yourcenar, in her Diagnostic
de l’Europe, states that “Our
civilization at a whole has realized that
it has stopped being”. In Approches
du tantrisme she condemns the “irreparable
mistake of the Western World, [that is] conceptualizing
the complexity of human substance in the antithetic
form soul-body, and not being able to escape
that antithesis but denying the soul”.
Art, and poetry in particular, could be a
means to fight this “decadence”.
In a spirit of synthesis of Knowledge, Marguerite
Yourcenar attempts at connecting, like the
fathers of Humanism did in relation to the
Ancient schools, the Western and the Eastern
worlds.
Keywords: Marguerite Yourcenar, poetry,
reenchanting, transcendence, tradition, wisdom
