Abstract

Orides Fontela’s poetry, experienced through the relationship between poetry and philosophy (or poetical experimentum linguae), when establishing intertwined relationships between the subject and the real, asks for a conception of lyricism that brings together, in an exemplary manner, an apparent opposition between emotion (usually linked to lyrical poetry) and matter (commonly related to objectivity). A kind of "tacit conflict", found in a system of differences, objective lyricism would allow for such axes to engage in a constant game of forces, in which the notion of lyrical subjectivity is reformulated by a movement that throws it out, to an out-of-itself position, thus displacing it from its inwardness, leading it to discover the world as alterity (through the poetic strategy we call semantics of proximity) and, to a certain extent, to becoming an Other to itself, when experimenting with the things of the world (AU)
