Beskrivning
How can we characterize the uniqueness of poetic language? How can we describe the evasive enchantment of the paradox that is created by both universal and autobiographical expression? How does ordinary language function aesthetically while motivating the reader to acknowledge himself and to reveal how far his thinking belongs to the present, the future, or the past? Ludwig Wittgenstein, the central founder of the linguistic turn and the inspiration of countless works, inspires the search of this book for various linguistic functions: Dialogic, aesthetic, and mystical. The search investigates four Modern Hebrew poets: Zelda, Yehuda Amichai, Admiel Kosman, and Shimon Adaf based on their family resemblance of intertextuality in their language-games. The book resists social-cultural categorizations as religious vs. secular poetry or Mizrahi vs. Ashkenazi literature, and instead, focuses on Wittgenstein's aspects, suggesting universal interpretation of these corpuses.

Mer om författaren

As a lecturer in the unit of interdisciplinary studies in Bar-Ilan University, Dorit Lemberger's researches exemplify the relevance and importance of linguistic concepts to Hebrew literature and Jewish philosophy. Also, I use psychoanalytic insights in order to show the common linguistic ground of literature and psychoanalysis, as 'talking-cure'.

Recensioner i media

“In this stimulating work, Lemberger both exemplifies and explicates Wittgenstein's dictum: ‘Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.’ Through the work of poets, who constitute their poetic self in the presence of the Divine, Lemberger demonstrates Wittgenstein's Language Game notion. According to Lemberger, Zelda, Amichai, Kosman, and Adaf—each in their own cultural context—display four distinct modes of self-constitution and a unique Language Game. Thus, Lemberger provides a vigorous analysis of Wittgenstein's thought along with an impressive picture of the trends in Modern Hebrew poetry.”
