Writing the disaster implies producing texts which refer to the catastrophic mass extermination in the concentration camps. The essay reads the constellation between Martin Heidegger and Paul Celan under the sign of disaster. Questioning why Heidegger could become such a crucial point of reference for Celanâs attempt to situate poetry after Auschwitz, the reading focuses on Celanâs âMeridianâ -speech. Through corifronting Heideggerâs concept of technology with Celanâs discussion of art and poetry, their shared assumption of the fundamentally technical character of art is revealed. The essay points out, though, how Celan differs and departs from Heidegger by introducing the time-spaces of poetry as the basis for the radically individualised remembrance each poem performs.
