{"title":"Who Am I and Who Are You?: Gadamer on Celan’s Dialogical Poetry","authors":"Arup Jyoti Sarma","doi":"10.1080/20539320.2023.2239603","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20539320.2023.2239603","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn this essay, I shall discuss Gadamer’s interpretation of Celan’s dialogical poetry in his essay “Wer bin Ich und wer bist Du?” (“Who am I and Who are You?”). One may argue that this is Gadamer’s articulation of the problem of the self-other relationship. To understand the question of self and other, it is first of all necessary to return to the poetic word from which the question arises. Speaking is, for Gadamer, the most profoundly self-forgetful action, because when one speaks, one is so deeply “within the word” that one is not turned toward the word but, rather, to what one wants to say with the word. For hermeneutics, interpreting means putting oneself on the task of the poetic text. The proximity between poetizing and interpreting emerges, also in its specificity concerning the proximity between poetizing and thinking. Such a proximity, in turn, divides itself into two extremes: the word that sublates itself, and the word that stands for itself. It is hence the uncertain fullness of language, where, unsurprisingly, both poetizing and interpreting come into themselves, which constitutes the link between the one and the other. Therefore, the interpreted word, intertwined with the poetic word does not replace what it indicates, but merely points beyond itself, to what is other than itself. Both pursue a meaning that points toward an open realm.KEYWORDS: poetrydialogueI and youart Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.

Di Cesare, “The Dialogue of Poetry,” 125.I am indebted to the discussion by Di Cesare on the dialogue of Celan’s poetry, where the author argues that poetry is the open place of infinite dialogue which hermeneutics seeks. To the question “Who am I and Who are You?” poetry responds by keeping the question open (125–32). This discussion helps me in forming the relevant ideas necessary for this piece.3. Klink, “You.
