| description | Moving from the concept of «patchwork», used by Gilles Deleuze in regards of XIX century
North-American Literature, this essay explores the relations and the possible interactions between the works and themes of Walt Whitman and Edgar Allan Poe. I try to analyze the work of
these two authors from two different perspectives on the natural world: the first one related to
organic processes and life cycles, the second to dissolutive processes and to the horrors of death.
Final aim of the text is the construction of a synthetic field, able to give account of the duplicity of
those two dimensions in the operativity of nature. What will emerge from this synthetic field is
the New World’s non pulsed man, split between the two conceptual characters of Whitman’s vagrant-sower and Poe’s catatonic-dreamer. |
