Abstract

The present study analyzes Gottfried Benn’s poetic production and develops a series of analyzes starting from three main conceptual themes: subject, history and language, reinterpreted according to the specific terminology of the German poet: Gehirn / Leib, Zerebration, Montagekunst. In this way our reflections will allow us to identify some recurring metaphors in Benn’s production which we will attempt to examine on the basis of their numerous variations and oscillations.
