Resumen
PETTIGREW, Jason Lee. The Neo-Baroque and Language as the House of Being: Aural by Gilberto Castellanos. Lit. mex [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.2, pp.127-153. ISSN 2448-8216. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.30.2.2019.1185.
Incorporating the concepts of Severo Sarduy and of José Pascual Buxó of the neo-Baroque and referential ambiguity, respectively, I explore how in Aural (2011) Gilberto Castellanos fractures the conventional relationship between linguistic sign and referent, with the intention of communicating a novel vision of his lived experience. In addition, I analyze the book in light of some of Martin Heidegger’s philosophical concepts, such as “being-in-the-world” and language as the “house of being”. Basing my analysis on his symbolic representation of the urban streets and the home, I clarify his concept of poetry as a pleasant refuge from an anguished existence, a lyrical abode that provides shelter, enlightenment, purification, and solidarity.
