Until death, poetic dwelling. Between Heidegger and Ruy Belo

Abstract

in Heidegger's thought, the human in his condition of being mortal appears as an issue in Being and Time. But the question of dwelling appears only in the last 25 years of his production. The present approach seeks in language and in its poetic articulation the ontological link in-between. In order to do so we seek this path in the Portuguese speaking poetry of Ruy Belo. We argue that, in Heidegger, the poetic world project is coexistent with the technological project and can therefore yet rescue an authentic dwelling and, so by stepping back, save the human authenticity.
