The poetic utterance and the inhabitation of space

Intercultural dialogue Romania-Corsica

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the similarities between traditions, customs, folkloric productions from the archaic Romanian and Corsican space, I will try to show that nowadays the kinship between these two cultures is perpetuated in the area of the poetic imagination. The first part of the study will focus on redefining the role of the poet. “Son of the Sun and the language” (Salah Stétié), the poet has the mission to elevate the language inherited at birth, to reshape it, to reinvent it. The work on language is perfected at the ontological level, the supreme „challenge” of the poet being to say the unspeakable, to express in words the content of a numinous experience, originating from the world beyond name and form. Like the mystic, the poet uses language to convey the experience of an epiphany or a paroxysmal experience or any other state of communion with the sacred, with the ineffable, with the principles that keep the whole Being. The second part of our paper consists in the recognition of these principles, “formative forms” or “poetic entities” (Dumitru Velea) from contemporary Romanian and Corsican poetry. Cosmic song, Poetry represents, par excellence, the “voice” of Spirit, of the One (Self, Uncreated, Consciousness) infinitely multiplied in the ceaseless dynamics of life and in that of the human (self, individual soul, living being, embodied consciousness). Our hermeneutic approach opens a reflection on the depth of the poetic voice that results from the eternal interweaving of ipse and idem. Poetic utterance means experiencing a mystery that crosses your being. More precisely, what I propose is an analysis of the writing adopted by a lyric self aware of its unity with the Self. Seen from this angle, “I am the Other” (Rimbaud), and his kingdom is located on the “other side”, in transcendence.
