In spite of the shortness of the whole and its units, the work is heavy with tensions that cannot be solved in a synthetic way. Focused on the paradoxical cruxes, this paper interrogates a series of poems from mirlitonnades, considering three facets that have also permeated other zones of Beckett’s work –his essays and his short-prose fiction. In the first place, we investigate the techniques a language uses aiming to reach the silence; secondly, the way the poetic voice outlines a life close to his end; finally, the three heterogeneous temporalities that crash in mirlitonnades –the dead time, time as a rest, time as a flux and a reflux. By analyzing these three unsettled issues we will arrive to the conclusion that it is impossible to establish a sharp distinction between language and silence, life and death –even though they never completely match. En el proceso de contracción que signa la literatura de Beckett, mirlitonnades, elaborado entre 1976 y 1978, constituye un punto especialmente álgido. A pesar de la brevedad del conjunto y de sus unidades, el poemario se encuentra atravesado de un complejo de tensiones incapaces de resolverse por vía sintética. Concentradas en desplegar sus meollos paradojales, las páginas de este trabajo interrogan una serie de piezas de mirlitonnades en torno a tres ejes que han permeado, asimismo, otras zonas de la obra del irlandés –la ensayística, la prosa de ficción breve. En primer lugar, se relevan los procedimientos empleados por un lenguaje que quiere asimilarse al silencio; luego, el modo en que la voz poética delinea una vida que linda con su fin; por último, el campo de temporalidades que abre el poemario, entreverado de tres modalidades temporales heterogéneas y en lucha entre sí –el tiempo muerto, el tiempo como resto, el tiempo como flujo y reflujo. Analizar las tres conflictivas instancias ligadas entre sí implicará, pues, toparse con el impedimento de establecer un nítido discernimiento entre lenguaje y silencio, vida y muerte, aunque, a la vez, nunca terminen de confundirse. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Beckettiana/article/view/10840 10.34096/beckettiana.n18.10840 spa Oficina de publicaciones.
