Abstract
The theory of horizon structure is one of the fundamental theories of Husserl's phenomenology. At first glance, the horizon evokes the concept of limit and dependency, but on the contrary, in this theory, it is always a gate to things beyond and a horizon to the invisible and infinite. The concept of horizon structure can be seen as the interaction between presence and absence, finite and infinite, visible and invisible, and exposed and hidden. This duality of the horizon causes Michel Colo to use this phenomenological theory to open a way to the poetic world and claim that contemporary French poetry and, in our interpretation, the poetic view, is basically a transition from the matter of "obviousness of this identity" to the matter of "hiddenness and otherness". Relying on Husserl's horizon structure theory and based on some thoughts and theories of Michel Colo, the current study aims to answer this question: on what basis can it be claimed that if the poetic experience is not in the search of otherness that attracts the poetic gaze, then the poetic language will not be created? To put it more simply, by relying on the structure of the horizon, how can one justify the tendency of poets and the poetic view to discover and intuition in the hidden matter, in the interior of the obvious matter, and to search for another existence in the matter of this identity? For this purpose, this study will use the poems of contemporary French poets and especially Proust's poetic experiences in a broader sense.
