This thesis explores the human and poetic relationship between human beings and matter, understood as everything that is external to and independent from the self. In particular, it investigates the relationship between humans and “things,” where thing is intentionally used as a generic term referring not only to “objects” but also to the countless facets of the sensible world. The aim is to examine whether, and to what extent, there exists a voice within things—that is, the ways in which material reality speaks, relates to, and participates in the human imagination. In this perspective, the study analyses the poetics of three different authors—a philosopher, Gaston Bachelard, and two poets, Francis Ponge and Antonella Anedda—diverse in origin and historical context, yet united by a common interest in the material fabric of the world, in the ways the subject comes into contact with it, and in the dialogic strategies through which humans may call the world to a revelation of meaning. Through the work of these three authors, the thesis highlights the importance of a poetics of gazing, aimed at rediscovering the layers of meaning embedded in matter, in the world, and in the things that inhabit everyday reality, in order to intensify the real and enrich the experience of life.
Questa tesi ha come oggetto l’esplorazione del rapporto umano e poetico che intercorre tra l’uomo e la materia, nei termini in cui quest’ultima si configura come tutto ciò che è esterno e indipendente dall’io. In particolare, si vuole indagare il rapporto dell’uomo con le cose, dove cosa è termine volutamente generico che indica non solo gli “oggetti”, ma le innumerevoli sfaccettature della realtà sensibile; e in che misura esista una voce all’interno delle cose, ovvero in quali modi la realtà materiale parli, si riferisca e partecipi all’immaginario dell’uomo. Si analizzano, in questo senso, le poetiche di tre autori diversi – un filosofo, Gaston Bachelard, e due poeti, Francis Ponge e Antonella Anedda – fra loro per origine e contesto storico, i quali, tuttavia, condividono il medesimo interesse verso la materia di cui è composto il reale e le strategie di interlocuzione attraverso cui l’uomo può chiamare quest'ultimo a una rivelazione di senso. Seguendo i percorsi di questi tre autori, si evince l’importanza di una poetica dello sguardo intesa a riscoprire gli strati di senso di cui è composta la materia e le cose che popolano la realtà quotidiana, per intensificare il reale e aggiungere senso all’esperienza della vita.

Abstract
This thesis explores the human and poetic relationship between human beings and matter, understood as everything that is external to and independent from the self. In particular, it investigates the relationship between humans and “things,” where thing is intentionally used as a generic term referring not only to “objects” but also to the countless facets of the sensible world. The aim is to examine whether, and to what extent, there exists a voice within things—that is, the ways in which material reality speaks, relates to, and participates in the human imagination. In this perspective, the study analyses the poetics of three different authors—a philosopher, Gaston Bachelard, and two poets, Francis Ponge and Antonella Anedda—diverse in origin and historical context, yet united by a common interest in the material fabric of the world, in the ways the subject comes into contact with it, and in the dialogic strategies through which humans may call the world to a revelation of meaning. Through the work of these three authors, the thesis highlights the importance of a poetics of gazing, aimed at rediscovering the layers of meaning embedded in matter, in the world, and in the things that inhabit everyday reality, in order to intensify the real and enrich the experience of life.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
