Boredom and poetry: A review of Alejandra Pizarnik’s poetry from the concept of boredom (langeweile) in Martin Heidegger

Abstract

This paper aims to bring forward  the formal-structural comparison of Heidegger’s concept of boredom Langeweile (explicitly studied in the classes of 1929 and 1930) and Alejandra Pizarnik’s poetry, ensuring thus a favorable situation to determine the existential essence of the phenomenon in question within the parameters of fundamental poetry that expresses the Argentinean poet throughout her work, effectively allowing the connection between poetry and philosophy in order to understand properly the atmosphere that surrounds Heidegger.
