Phenomenology and poetry

Abstract

Spanish translation of Marc Richir’s article «Phénoménologie et poésie», published in Serta: Revista Iberorrománica de Poesía y Pensamiento Poético, n.º 4, 1999. This article aims at articulating what Richir calls «phenomenological reflection» (without concepts), proper to phenomenology (which implies phenomenological essences), by comparing it to the Kantian aesthetic reflection (also without concepts) on which poetry bases (involving the categories of singularity and event). The very place taken by affectivity within both types of reflection appears to be a decisive and discriminating factor. Richir tackles at last the question of the sublime and that of phenomenalization’s schematism, radically apart and thus out of reach for any kind of pulsion or psychanalytical issue.
