Trilce y la semiosis ilimitada

Abstract

This work vindicates both Trilce’s hermetic aesthetics –the book was written, for a reason, the way it is, with all its enigmas– and the simple reader’s right to read the book experientially, that is, freely and affectively open to the cryptic resonances of sense emanating from that hermeticism. At a critical level, this work favors approaches that stay away from narrow interpretations, respect trilcean polyvalence of senses and the attitude and aptitude of the common reader, for whom the book was ultimately written. Towards these goals, the essay’s purpose is to show how this poetry promotes a more semiotic than semantic reading, i. e., a more a spiritual effervescence than a conclusive content, and, in the long run, how the subject’s masked biographism drives –by means of passions intensity– to a semiosis of universal projections.
