This book provides access to the Jewish mystic side of selected poems by Paul Celan. The reader is led to a crossing point in the poem with the poet's consciously or unconsciously instilled cultural knowledge. Here an interpretation is proposed which correlates with the poet's cultural knowledge and reading experience. Thus many of Celan's poems follow cabbalistic practice by narrating in numbers. Structural numbers and the symbolic meanings of numbers are therefore to be identified and interpreted as bearing meaning. This book received the ""Wissenschaftspreis 2008"" [Price for the best disse

Paul Celan: Studies in His Early Poetry scrutinizes the influences detectable in the poems written during 1938-48. Among German writers, Büchner, Goethe, Gottfried von Strassburg, Gryphius, Mörike, the poet of the Nibelungenlied , Novalis, Rilke, and Trakl all provided motifs that, often repeated, make for a dense network inviting attention to the self-referential and self-revealing patterns in Celan’s early work. In addition, there are many poems that contain motifs gleaned from Greek mythology and/or biblical data. These references, on occasion quite clear, more often so obscure as to be hazy allusions, yield the view that during his first decade of poetic activities Celan becomes increasingly recondite. When these references or allusions stand side-by-side in a given poem, they acquire a surrealistic tint and threaten to withhold clear meaning. Ambiguities, deliberately cultivated in the earliest poems, begin to boomerang and read like so many preludes to the struggles with language evident in the poetry of Celan’s maturity. It is a certainty that Celan reacted quickly, if not immediately, to the events befalling the scenes of his early years (Czernowitz and the forced-labor camp). This phenomenon mandates the view of his poems as so many pieces of autobiography. It thus is inevitable that as early as 1940 he wrote against the backdrop of war, and soon thereafter in the shadow of the Holocaust that was destined to brand his mind forever. This volume is meant for anyone interested in Celan, close reading of modern poetry in general, comparative literature, motif studies, poetic reactions to Holocaust events, or even in a Jew’s concept regarding the role of the deity in the destruction of those for whom the poet speaks.

Poetry as a "philosophical frontier" is the concept focused in this book on the poetry of Paul Celan. It is not precipitate to consider that the peculiarity of Celan's poetry and its reception lies in the persistent and ongoing interest displayed by philosophical criticism. Adopting an inclusive formula that goes beyond the mere notion of a "philosophical space", Massimo Baldi and Fabrizio Desideri aim to bring together readings and interpretative theories that are significantly diverse, albeit marked by the common intention of focusing the radical singularity of Celan's writing. All the essays presented here effectively reveal an attention to that engagement inherent in the letter of the poetic dictate, in the pungency of its inscription, which we must respect and listen to if we wish to understand Celan.

Sites of the Uncanny: Paul Celan, Specularity and the Visual Arts is the first book-length study that examines Celan's impact on visual culture. Exploring poetry's relation to film, painting and architecture, this study tracks the transformation of Celan in postwar German culture and shows the extent to which his poetics accompany the country's memory politics after the Holocaust. The book posits a new theoretical model of the Holocaustal uncanny - evolving out of a crossing between Celan, Freud, Heidegger and Levinas - that provides a map for entering other modes of Holocaust representations. After probing Celan's critique of the uncanny in Heidegger, this study shifts to the translation of Celan's uncanny poetics in Resnais' film Night and Fog, Kiefer's art and Libeskind's architecture.

L'ouvrage entend prendre la mesure des ouvertures ménagées par l'œuvre de Jean Bollack, fondateur de « L'École de Lille », dans les différents domaines qu'elle a abordés. Il se structure en études sur le domaine grec, notamment sur les Présocratiques et la tragédie antique, sur l'histoire de la philologie et la réflexion sur les textes, sur Celan auquel il a consacré ces dernières années des travaux décisifs. Des contributions de peintres, de traducteurs et de poètes y sont jointes, car la science des textes n'est jamais séparée d'une réflexion artistique et politique sur le présent. Quelques témoignages illustrent enfin certains aspects du parcours original de Jean Bollack. L'ensemble se veut une invitation à découvrir une œuvre exigeante et résolue dans ses engagements. La Grèce est restituée dans la distance qui intègre l'histoire des savoirs et dans la présence renouvelée de ses inspirations cosmologiques ou théâtrales qui ne cessent de nous questionner. L'art contemporain fait l'objet d'une attention constante. Antique ou moderne, la tradition est relue et décapée.
