Additional Information
Part music, part cacophony, the Solitudes is an anti-poem that speaks while refusing to speak, a sort of oracle that 'neither indicates nor conceals but gives a sign' (Heraclitus). The aim of this paper is to listen to this oracle in a quasi-psychoanalytical way, that is to say, to let it talk while recording its mistakes, its moans, its negations, its silences. The first part of the paper places Góngora's aesthetics of dissonance within the wider framework of the philosophy of Heraclitus and his notion of 'hidden' harmony. The second part studies four instances of 'hidden' harmony in relation to the act of talking, namely: talking and crying; talking and making noise; talking and babbling; and talking and not talking.

Mitad música, mitad ruido, las Soledades es un anti-poema que renuncia a hablar hablando, una especie de oráculo que 'no dice ni oculta, sino indica por medio de señas' (Heráclito). Mi intención es escuchar tal oráculo en el sentido casi psicoanalitico del verbo 'escuchar', es decir, dejarlo hablar escandiendo sus fallas, sus lamentos, sus negaciones, sus silencios. La primera parte del ensayo sitúa la estética de la disonancia gongorina dentro del marco de la filosofia de Heráclito y su noción de la armonía de contratensión o armonía invisible. La segunda estudia cuatro tipos de armonía de contratensión relacionados con el acto de hablar, a saber, hablar y llorar, hablar y hacer ruido, hablar y farfullar, y hablar y no hablar.
