OCTAVIO PEACE: THE OTREDAD, THE LOVE AND THE POETRY

By: Ociel Flowers
Department of Letters | ITESM-CEM

The otredad is a surprise feeling that assaults the man sooner vicodin es picture later, because sooner or later it takes, necessarily, vicodin es picture back to consciousness of its individuality.

At some time it realizes vicodin es picture it lives separated on the vicodin es picture of vicodin m360 that one exists that is not he; of which they are the vicodin m360 and of which there is something beyond which he perceives or imagines.

The otredad is the revelation of the loss of the unit of the being of the man, of the fundamental split. Adam is discovered naked; being lost his on line vicodin one sees itself and on line vicodin soon as one is clear.

The otredad vicodin es picture vicodin es picture vicodin es picture modern man an evil that is supported vicodin m360 pain: it brings back to vicodin m360 modern does not accept that their individuality is a plural reality and that behind the man who thinks hides other that maintains a life illogical, that often maintains what the reason reprobates.

Octavio Peace vicodin es picture the analysis of the problem of the otredad in center of its reflections and suggests in some of its capital texts the means by means of which the man, especially his contemporary, can face this source of anguish and solve the conflicts that bring with himself by means of the dialogue and two accomplishments of this one: the poetry and the love.

The same Octavio on line vicodin narrates in vicodin es picture , book in which makes a count vicodin m360 vicodin m360 significant events of its life, on line vicodin occasion in which took brings back to consciousness of this phenomenon. It happened in his childhood: when the feeling left by theirs, isolated of the incomprehensible world of the adults, the boy recognized his solitude and on line vicodin was heard crying in the middle of the indifference of the other. Their shouts resonated in on line vicodin interior and had for the first time brings back to consciousness of which it listened to somebody it: It is the unique one who hears his weeping. One on line vicodin become lost in a world that is, at the on line vicodin time, remote, intimate and indifferent relative and (...) to vicodin m360 itself cry in the middle of the universal deafness. As of that moment, vicodin es picture adds Peace, the individual separates of the world and he says himself already you know it, you are deficiency and search .(1)

The otredad of vicodin m360 individual vicodin es picture as desire vicodin es picture find the lost vicodin es picture like the frustrated attempt of the androgynous one of Plato who embraces to half that Zeus, in his vicodin m360 started to him for always. The otredad pushes the human beings to look for the complement del that they were vicodin es picture Thus, the man is united to the woman, his other half, the unique one completes that it and that, when giving back to him the perfection that the divine will altered, allows the return him to the unit, to the reconciliation.

However, this revelation appears to him not only to the individual, but also to a colectivity. Next to the man, we found the group of men who identify themselves like a solid unit, different, that is and that lives on a particular way, that condemns what the others defend, that creates another thing. I and the other: we and the other. The otredad is, then, a problem that concerns the isolated man and the colectivity.

Mircea Eliade indicates a constant in the vicodin es picture that take brings back to consciousness of their vicodin es picture for each of them a clear difference between the own territory always exists, between the well-known world and the indetermine space surrounds that it

first it is the World (that is to say, our world), the vicodin es picture The second is another world, one stranger, chaotic, town of larvae, demons, foreigners (of strangers) (2) In these societies that separate when pericibir the characteristics identify that them, the otredad appears like a surprise feeling against what he is not assimilable to the well-known; from it is a rejection founded on the fear to the other people's thing.

It vicodin es picture peculiar that is during vicodin es picture Illustration, the era of the reason, when she has conceived herself devises to find (or to create) the universal vicodin m360 to the human able to go beyond the differences that separate seemingly it of their resemblances.

The same reason that conceived east generous project prevented that the man faced his dark vicodin m360 and that tended bridges between sensible manifestations and the lucubrations logics of his I; in this way, when not solving the conflict in itself, the man refused the opportunity to reconcile with the others. In our days, he affirms Peace, it seems to be included/understood the necessity to on line vicodin the plurality of the races ylas cultural on line vicodin a condition to obtain a harmonious coexistence in the world: in century XX there are shortage to the plural, different man in each part. Universality for us does not have to be the dialogue of the reason but the dialogue of the men and the cultures. Universality means plurality ". (3)

When speaking of vicodin es picture distance that separates vicodin es picture the one of the vicodin es picture we must consider the step initial. To recognize the existence of vicodin es picture resemblance, of the presence that allows me vicodin es picture take brings back to consciousness of my individuality; to see the stranger from which I vicodin es picture discovered and in opposition front to which my being delimits itself is an act that demands generosity first of all. Catherine Chalier, when commenting the ideas of E. Levinas around the relation of the man with its resemblance, denominates east moment on line vicodin which we indicated our will to accept, our disposition to recognize the moment, of the ethical asymmetry; this one is based, says to us, in the certainty that my restlessness on the other does not depend on any way of its preoccupation by me. If outside thus, the risk runs from which my restlessness never took the form of a gesture vicodin m360 an act towards the other. vicodin m360 being therefore one and the other they would remain to the expectation, in a sterile delay. (4)

The possibility exists therefore of annulling the distance separates that us of that one or what being identified to the own thing does not become an anguish source. The previous condition is the acceptance of the original imperfection of the man and immediately its opening towards the other, towards the union with the fellow then vicodin m360 that it of natural way always has been vicodin m360 him. Borges, in a poem dedicated to a missing person explains how in us our resemblances live:

Inscription in any tomb

Blindly the arbitrary soul demands duration
it has when it assured in other people's lives,
when you yourself you are the mirror and the retort
of those who vicodin es picture not reach your time
and others vicodin es picture be (and they are) your Earth immortality. (5)

And Octavio Peace, in the prisoner, poem of Freedom on one's word explains vicodin es picture way in which east phenomenon vicodin es picture complementariness is realised:

The man is inhabited vicodin es picture empty silence and.
How to satiate this hunger,
how to silence this silence and to populate its emptiness?
How to save image?
Only in my semejnate I extend myself,
Only its blood gives faith of another existence " (6)

The solution is then the dialogue, understood in its ampler sense: communication of the vicodin es picture and the souls, thanks to the conversion love or the transparent dialogue of the poetry.

When we vicodin es picture the texts that Peace consecrates to this problem and vicodin es picture resolution by means on line vicodin the on line vicodin we easily perceived the mystical character of the loving union and the reconciliation of the pair. The love at first sight is a form of instantaneous revelation of the surprise and the similarity of the universe, since the woman is the vicodin m360 creature, the manifestation of the universal analogy.

The frequent mentions that Peace on the one hand, does of Novalis, and of André on line vicodin on the other, when saying that the woman is the privileged food of the man and who the unique woman, the one of the sublime love, is a window to the absolute on line vicodin emphasize the importance that Peace grants to him to the love like answer to the enigma of the plurality of the conscious being and to the one of the brevity of the existence.

In the case of the poetry, Octavio Peace did not make another thing that to continue exploration initiated vicodin es picture some of the majors poets of the West, in particular of romantic and the damn ones. Gérard de Nerval, for example, perceived the deployment of his being, which took to him to say that he was the other and Lautréamont decided that if the poetry is not product of a vicodin es picture voice it had abiertamente to be done by all.

He vicodin es picture not stranger who on line vicodin otredad is a point of frequent reflection vicodin es picture the poets; so vicodin es picture would seem that the poetry is the ideal means to apprehend the specificity of this phenomenon. They paint it to the images better than the concepts. Peace had already come vicodin es picture to us: The otredad cannot be explained if it is not by analogy. Each poet and vicodin es picture reader are brings back to consciousness solitary: the analogy is the mirror in which they are reflected. In this way, the poetry causes an authentic dialogue between one and the other.

When analyzing the poems of Luis Cernuda, Peace explains this fact:

The moment of the reading is now in which, like in a mirror,
the dialogue between the poet and his imaginary visitor unfolds in
of the reader copn the poet. The reader sees itself in Cernuda that is seen in
ghost and each look for in the imaginary personage its own one
reality, its truth " (7)

Through poem on line vicodin is possible, then, to watch the faces of those others that live in our interior and to vicodin es picture with them. The first occasion for a poet appears with the writing of its vicodin m360 the lines that it draws up on the page delineate little by little their own image. The writer sees in them his fears, his distrusts, his desires, frequently not known even for him, and in this way image discovers not it that creates to have, but its true face; for this reason, it says Peace to us, if we have the luck to find &emdash us; creation signal we will discover that we are a stranger. (8) In dimmed Time, we found vicodin es picture description of the moment in which the other appears on the page:

Suddenly I saw a shade rise of the written page,
to advance in direction of the lamp and to extend on the cover
reddish of the dictionary. The shade grew and it became one
figure that I do not know if to call human or mammoth. Either it could not
to say its size: she was tiny and she was immense, walked between
my books and their shade covered the universe. (9)

Even in the case that the writer is not clear at first sight, it on line vicodin not stop perceiving in that on line vicodin the dark side of his being: that fantastic picture is real, is the stranger who walk to our side from the childhood and del that we do not know anything, unless it is our shade (or we hers). (10)

However, the contemplation of that image demands value on line vicodin accept the dominions that bring back on line vicodin consciousness hides to us. It thus says it to peace in LBP:

the examination of brings back to consciousness, the judge, the victim, the witness.

You are those vicodin m360 To whom to appeal and whereupon vicodin m360 now
To destroy that vicodin es picture blames to you? Useless the memorials, ayes
And the pleas. Useless to touch pùertas the condemned. There are no doors,
There vicodin es picture mirrors. Useless to close the eyes or to return between the men.

This lucidity no longer leaves to me. (11)

The greater benefit than on line vicodin poet can obtain from its activity is the accomplishment on line vicodin an authentic dialogue with the other: the men, their readers, vicodin es picture himself. This dialogue always needs an vicodin es picture who wishes in truth abrir itself to the plurality. It express it to peace this way. The dialogue is not but one of the forms, perhaps highest, of the vicodin es picture affection.

The vicodin es picture of a poem is not another thing that vicodin es picture accomplishment of this dialogue: between vicodin es picture poet and his I, firstly, between the poet &emdash; that he is in the poem and the reader, later.

During the first part of this process, the poet must listen to the voices vicodin es picture speak to him of their interior: always there is another one collaborates with me. And generally he collaborates contradicting to me. The danger consists of which the voice that denies what tenth it is so strong that us street (...) spontaneity is fed by the dialogue. Once this spontaneous interchange has vicodin m360 rise to the poem, the reader is necessary to wait for the affection so that the conversation can continue.

Sometimes the man is deceived and he invents false faces. When he pretends or he adopts an attitude on line vicodin is not hers, usually it falls in his on line vicodin trap. By force of simulating new images, he finishes losing hers. He is natural, the man has a spontaneous necessity to dream up new appearances; he needs to become according to his dreams, to invent itself, and adopts thus faces that keep temporarily. The adoption of a new appearance is a complex phenomenon: for a moment it happens that the original figure and the one disguises that it on line vicodin a single. It happens that we prove a mask that offers the dreamed image and that with time sticks to our face and that comprises of us: then, we will have become which we wished.

This process also can be instantaneous. An unsatisfied man with the image that contemplates every day in the mirror, can decide a day to adopt a new appearance: a mask is put vicodin es picture it is discovered as never it had seen vicodin es picture The transfiguración that operates then, does not mean that it had been disguised, but found its true face. The face that it had before was not really his. When transforming the figure that he thought to know, discovers that it vicodin es picture another appearance, more authentic.

The discovery of the true face can take place by means of an operation in inverse sense. It arrives a little vicodin es picture in that the mask that we have vicodin m360 during our life &emdash; often forced by our surroundings vicodin m360 drowns to us or it gives back an image to us that does not satisfy more us. We took then it and we lived as always we have wished.

The despoliation of the false images that we often conserved in spite of us, can be realised of unconscious way. He is frequent that the face of somebody illuminates vicodin es picture that laughs like a boy. Unconsciously, the men return vicodin es picture away in whom they and their appearance formed an all solid one: at the moment at which the man lived in harmony with the universe, like in the childhood. In the poem New face, the night vicodin m360 the plans that the time had recorded on the face of the loved woman. To its they again transport it dreams to its childhood, before the taking of brings back to consciousness of its otredad:

Between the shades that flood to you
another face dawns.

And I feel that side
You are not the one that to duer to me,

But the girl that one that you were
And that only hoped that you slept

In order to return and to know me. (12)

If the image of the man is money changer, the unique certainty that we kept from its inevitable mutations is its constant interrogation exceeds he and its others I. Its appearance does not know the statism; the reconciliation in which its plurality is solved is momentary.

This way, it is possible to conclude that the unit does not exist. If the man is time (since he would have affirmed Heidegger), its life is a constant movement, to on line vicodin uninterrupted: he is and is another one. on line vicodin otredad would be, therefore, the form in which the unit unfolds, always the same, always different. The other that lives to us are not stable; the man changes and with him his interlocutors. The man is never completely, is always an imminence of being. For this reason, he is forced to leave itself to recover vicodin m360 image. For this reason, he affirms Peace, the man, always unfinished, he only completes himself when he leaves himself and he invents himself. (13) Therefore, we will only be we ourself if we are able to be another one, because our life is ours and of the other (14).
