Inhabiting mourning: expressing loss in ultra-contemporary elegy

This research questions the capacity of ultra-contemporary poetic writing to configure the experience of mourning no longer as a codified literary genre (elegy), but as an ontological test of the limit. By distancing itself from the aims of consolation or resurrection through words, this work explores the way in which current poetic language echoes a "minimal theater of death", where loss is no longer an event to be closed, but a space to be inhabited. The aim is to analyze the ways in which living beings "suture" themselves in the face of heartbreak, observing how text becomes a topography of absence: between the materiality of the suffering body and the vibrations of almost nothing. By crossing approaches from poetic theory and the phenomenology of rupture, the study aims to define a scriptural "ethics of honesty" that, far from denying the silence of death, attempts to map the persistence of a presence held in the interstice of words.
