Overview

Veronique Foti delves into the full range of Heideggerian texts to elaborate the problematics of historicity, language, and the structure of disclosure or ""manifestation"" in connection with the Herman poets whom Heidegger invoked along his path of thinking. Foti's reading of these ports (Morike, Trakl, Rilke, Holderlin, and Celan) is a probing inquiry into the aesthetic, ethical, and political implications of Heidegger's thought. She knows how technicity (techne) and poetizing (poiesis) are opposed yet brought together in Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, how they are both politicized and linked with ethical praxis, and how technicity, poetizing, and praxis cannot be dissevered from Heidegger's essential thinking.

Critically examines [Heidegger's] appropriation of the 'saying' of certain poets, notably Trakl, Rilke, and Holderlin, with a view not only to its problematic relationship to the texts, but also in its crypto-political import and its disregard for the situation of poetry in a time when the disclosive power of the poetic word has been profoundly affected by history.
