Paul Celans Beziehung zur Avantgarde, genauer zur experimentellen Poesie, war ambivalent. Sie gehörte einerseits deutlich zu seiner dichterischen Entwicklung und Herausbildung seiner eigenen poetischen Sprache bis hin zu seiner Spätdichtung; andererseits genügte ihr reiner Ausdruck nicht seinen hohen ethisch-humanistischen Ansprüchen. Doch das, was oft auch in Celans Gelegenheitsdichtung als bloßes, harmloses, ja humorvolles Sprachspiel aussah, wird in seiner 'gültigen' Dichtung zu einem ernsten Instrument der Provokation und Warnung, das eine komplexe poetische Narrenmaske entstehen lässt. Der Beitrag versucht Celans Beziehung zur experimentellen Lyrik aufgrund der Vielschichtigkeit eben dieser dichterischen Narrenmaske zu durchleuchten.
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.
The game, with its creative potential and rich semantics, has repeatedly animated writers’ imagination, motivating them to imagine new worlds or to present the experience of the existent world according to other rules. Beyond this, games have been perceived as a form of transposing traumatic experiences or an expression of heteronomy in man’s relation with destiny. The dice game appears in Paul Celan’s early poetry, but it is more present in late poems. The present paper analyses the semantics of the dice game in Celan’s poetry, trying to evidentiate its ontological and poetical values.
