| Summary: | <p>Despite its productivity in the fields of criticism and art in the last decades, <em>silence</em> is not an emerging problem, but a phenomenon that already appears in the dawn of culture, as it can be proven by diverse cosmogonies. In this paper, there will be an attempt to analyze silence around <em>Poema del Cante Jondo </em>to demonstrate its presence in García Lorca, and to try to raise a much-needed empirical methodology to literary studies. The methodology will depart from the concept of <em>listening</em>, to rebuild the poem’s auditory sensory repertory and its relationship to the imaginary. The result will be the discovery of a mythical chronotope of silence, the night in the space of nature. In the framework of cosmic silence, a progressive articulation of language will arise, with a journey that begins in a sigh and culminates with the most sophisticated forms of chants and dialogue.</p> |
