Johann Christian Friedrich Hlderlin 17701843 and Chaim Nachman Bialik 18731934. Both poets each within his culture is of canonic stature and each ones poetry as well as theory has brought forth a rich field of research and interpretation. This book creates a hermeneutical encounter between the poetries of Hlderlin and Bialik and the interpretational and philosophical discourses orbiting their writing. A synoptic reading is implemented and discloses a reflective similarity at the heart of their ars poetica. The encounter reveals how both poets are reacting similarly to the ongoing crisis at the foundations of modernity the rift of tradition and the divesting of its myths of their historical authorities. This encounter invites a new reading of the poets work one that recognize a poetic and political mission that appear to be shared by both. A mission that struggles with the question of myth and its delivery across the shattered authority of its transcendental origin. It is a textual approach viewing myth as a type of literature and averting the focus from the question of the myth transcendental validity to the conditions of its impossible delivery. This poeticopolitical approach reveals the illusion of the binary opposition between demythologization and remythologization. It presents new possibilities which seem vital to our times to speculate beyond the insufficient dialectics about a reconceptualization of a modern tradition and about the transformations of myth into a regenerative element in contemporary culture and politics. Myth as inducing culture pathologies while also enabling cultural renewal at times of crisis.
