Although the poem was written well before their short meeting in the Black Forest, it becomes apparent that it initiates a demanding conversation with the Heideggerian concept of language as well as with his notions of dwelling and, especially, with the notion of language as the \u201chouse of Being.\u201d Stirner elucidates the connections and correlations between \u201chouse\u201d and the Hebrew letter <em>beth<\/em> (and word <em>bayit<\/em>). Working through images in <em>H\u00fcttenfenster<\/em> that are resonant of Heidegger\u2019s thought, her essay illustrates how Celan\u2019s poetry unfolds theoretical propositions that exceed Heidegger\u2019s position from within the very moments in which their language overlaps. Challenging Heidegger from within, Stirner concludes, finally leads to a poetic critique of Heidegger in poetic language itself and opens up perspectives towards another form of dwelling.\u201d (Florian Grosser and Nassima Sahraoui)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBeth\u2014that is the House: Paul Celan\u2019s Hebrew Dwelling,\u201d in Heidegger in the Literary World: Variations on Poetic Thinking, Florian Grosser and Nassima Sahraoui (Eds.), (Rowman &amp; Littlefield International, 2021), 67-80. \u201c[The article] stages an encounter between Martin and Heidegger and Paul Celan through the latter\u2019s poem H\u00fcttenfenster (Tabernacle Window).
