Strohmaier, Paul: Diesseits der SpracheImmanenz als Paradigma in der Lyrik der Moderne
The contemplation of modern poetry is inseparable from the modernist narratives that it presupposes. It is the dominant theoretical-aesthetic discourses on what characterizes literary modernity as a paradigm that from the outset necessarily foreshorten the perspective on what can become visible in and through its poetry. In its passage through the respective works of Paul Valéry, Eugenio Montale and Fernando Pessoa, the author attempts to uncover another kind of modernity in which poetry does not dissolve into self-reference but instead becomes the medium of a complex reversion to facing the world. The book focuses on what lies this side of language and, in contrast to traditional metaphysical points of reference, delineates an equally mundane space of immanence.
