ANTELO, Raúl. Resistance, anonymity, brotherhood: an orchid doxography. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2024, vol.25, n.1, e001.  Epub Apr 13, 2024. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.078.

One of the most radical surrealist publications, Le Memento universel Da Costa, published in Paris by the Revue Fontaine, beginning in the fall of 1947, did not have any signed articles, as the cover cartoon already announced, which invoked a donkey in pale nest ("l'âne au nid-mât!"). A year later, in his Letter on Humanism, Heidegger would claim existence in anonymity as a way of resisting the temptation of publicity and the impotence of the private, something that the Literal group would abide by in Argentina. Readers of Heidegger, the poet Godofredo Iommi and the essayist Efraín Tomás Bó, members of a curious brotherhood that traveled through America in the 1940s, living alternately in Chile, Cuba, Mexico and Brazil, coined an experience of the poetic that passes for the headless societal, something that will deeply mark such outstanding figures as the poet Michel Deguy or the philosopher Barbara Cassin. To what extent does nameless experience coexist with positive resistance? What is your resistance potential?

Keywords : resistance; anonymity; Paris; surrealism.
