Silentiaires fin-de-siècle : émergence et épuisement d’un motif poétique
Journal Title: Quêtes littéraires - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 7
Abstract
"Fin-de-siecle Silencers : rise and fall of a poetical motive" ABSTRACT: The parallel urge of introspection and meditation which comes with the evocation of silence acts as landmark for a whole current of fin de siecle literature. The symbolist era gives the impression that its actors were obsessedwith silence. Symbolist poetry took possession of silence as a way to encapsulate the ineffability of feelings and the various states of mind it explored, leaning towards an aesthetical mysticism. Yet that tendency soon turned into a form of cliché that opened a path towards parody, silence becoming a stigma of the ideological shortcomings of symbolism in the eye of its detractors. The attempt to seize the silence led to a harsh confrontation with void.
