| Summary: | <p>The purpose of this text is to address<br />the intersection between horror<br />and war and its expression in the<br />work of Paul Celan. It examines<br />one of these manifestations, silence,<br />from the perspective of psychoanalysis<br />and then goes on to discuss<br />the ways in which silence occurs<br />in poetry. The conclusion is that<br />silence arises due to the impossibility<br />of ciphering horror by resorting<br />to the letter.</p> |
