TY - JOUR A1 - Cheie, Laura T1 - "Allmählich clowngesichtig" : zu einer literarischen Maske des modernen Autors am Beispiel Paul Celans T2 - Germanistische Beiträge N2 - Most of the times the tragic mask of the madman has fascinated artistic and literary modernity, inspiring a series of painters and writers through its complex expre-sivity and semantics. Balancing between lie and truth, cov-ering and revelating, through anarchy and virtuosity, the mask of the tragic clown reflects loneliness, the anxieties and demones of the modern individual in a world of vio-lence and alienation. In Celan’s late poetry, the mask of the tragic clown describes another kafkian metamorphosis which the present paper analyses in a cultural, biographic and intertextual context.
