Poetica imaginii - o hermeneutică fenomenologică
Poetics of the Image – a Phenomenological Hermeneutics

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the so-called matrix-images, as a veritable genetic code for the developed images, in which the significant is yet an incipient form. At this level one can speak about neither manifestation, nor representation, because it is an unapparent image hidden in the form it shows. But in this primary form, that what signifies gives already something to see and to understand. The paradox is the following: the form of this infra-image is a diaphanous medium, through which one can see as if it doesn’t contain anything. Because it is an absent image, hidden in its own transparence, it may be seen and understood only by means of a pre-interpretative hermeneutics, strengthened in its comprehensive capacity with the contribution of the phenomenology of the unapparent. As for the religious images, the study points out the meanings of the “figure” in Pascal’s Thoughts.
