BOžIč, Andrej. The Secret of the Encounter. Paul Celan’s Poetry between Hermeneutics and Deconstruction. Bol. estét. [online]. 2023, n.62, pp.1-10.  Epub 01-Mar-2023. ISSN 2408-4417.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/be.2023.62.326.

Following the guiding line of the question how an access to Paul Celan’s poetry can be granted to us, the article discusses two different approaches: on the one hand, the hermeneutic experience of Hans-Georg Gadamer; on the other hand, the disseminating experience of Jacques Derrida. The intention of the confrontation of the opposing positions regarding Celan’s poetry is neither to examine the suppositions and prepositions of both positions nor to contest the legitimacy of either of them from the viewpoint of the other, but rather to establish and evoke the sense of the dissention, the signification of the discernment between them and, thus, open up the field of possibility for both, for a hermeneutics and for a deconstruction today, and through it also, above all, a place and a time for Celan’s poem, the possibility to listen to it and to hear it, to become the addressee of its inter-(a)pellative voice.
