Trakl’s poietic Silence
A Quasi-systems Theoretical Dissection
Georg Trakl is known to be a poet that uses images of silence and one that uses as less words as possible when writing. This paper tries to examine whether it is possible to analyze this preference, following systems’ theory. For this, it examines the ways people communicate and communications bind to each other, the value of silence as negation and its anschlussfaehigkeit.
