LA CONCEPTION DU TEMPS CHEZ NOVALIS. PRATIQUES TEMPORALISANTES ET PROCEDURES DE MEDIATION DU «PRESENT ABSOLU»

Mioara Mocanu[1]

Abstract

In our paper, we attempted to point out the transformational dynamics of temporal aporia, according to a semiotic organization specific to poetry, able to articulate forms of life and the values attached to them. Novalis glorifies the “absolute present” as a tension mediation figure between two different temporal levels. We refer to “uncompleted present” in opposition to “completed present”; yet, they both draw their strength from a common area of hyperpassionate experience marked by the features of fascinating immediateness and of persistent hope.
