Abstract
-
The history of Spanish Literature has flowed on a double assumption: reality and dream. This constant pattern has developed an attitude which be observed in many authors. "Ensonacion" is therefore a mixture of reality/non-reality that writers, specially poets, achieve throughout their writings. The external manifestation of this double use is the paradox, a necessary literary figure that binds both worlds together.;To confirm ourselves on this constant attitude conveys the possibility of a poetic method that might help us to trace the presence of ensonacion in our poetry: the poetics of ensonacion.;A French thinker, Bachelard, devotes one of his works to the search for this method although recognizing his lack of answers at the end of his study. The poet as a "dreamer of words" becomes the key point of his theory.;Along the same lines and literary genre--she is also a thinker--a contemporary of Bachelard, Maria Zambrano, brings again the topic reality/dream to Spanish literature. In her essays she affirms that the poet is a dreamer; life and dream are one.;Both ways of ensonacion--French and Spanish--coincide in the importance of the word; the dreamer can hear the sounds of the written word, according to Bachelard. The preeminent Spanish example is found in Carmen Conde. In her poetry she considers life as a continuous search for the words that may lead her to the dream.;The importance of her poetry comes from the diversity of contents she gives to dreams. There is a universal sense that emerges from her verses where the use of paradox plays an essential role. She does not try to unravel it; she sees it as a needed element for a dreamer. Her poetry continually expands. It offers the reader every possibility except that of confinement. It transforms the ordinary, the everyday situation into a vision, a dreaming activity.;Ensonacion as a possible way of constructing poetics is first elucidated by Bachelard. In Spanish literature it becomes an attitude represented in contemporary essay by Maria Zambrano, and finds a landmark in the poetry of Carmen Conde.
