Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyse a part of Paul Celan's poetic discourse and study the way in which its political dimensions arise, with a particular focus on poems dedicated to Osip Mandelştam in the Nobody's Rose volume. For this purpose, a disjunction is made and justified between political poetry, or expressive discourse treating the political, and politically possessed poetry, discourse in service of ideology. Of particular interest is the social function assumed by such political poetry, triggered by the spreading of illness within the social corpus towards which the poet acts, in Ion Mureşan's conception, as a timely antibody.
