On the basis of a liaison between this imagery and the author’s ideas around language, this article explores the complex metaphorical apparatus that water articulates in metaliterary and linguistic terms in its initial formulations in “Assumption” (1929), Beckett’s first published story, and in Dream of fair to middling women, his first novel, written in 1932. The analysis will be complemented with an approach to the matter in the german letter of 1937 to Axel Kaun. The investigation is sparked by the idea that this liquid imagery is linked to Beckett’s ideas around language, and, particularly around the exploration of silence as literature’s limit in his poetics. El campo semántico del agua y de los fenómenos que pueden asociársele (la lluvia, la sed, el ahogo) es harto recurrente en la obra de Beckett. Partiendo de la idea de que este imaginario se encuentra ligado a reflexiones en torno al lenguaje, este trabajo se propone como una indagación sobre el complejo aparato metafórico que articula en términos metaliterarios y lingüísticos en sus formulaciones iniciales en “Asunción” (1929), su primer relato, y en Sueño con mujeres que ni fu ni fa, su primera novela, escrita en 1932. El análisis se complementará con una aproximación a la cuestión en la “Carta alemana” de 1937 que Beckett dirige a Axel Kaun. Se parte de la hipótesis de que este imaginario acuático presenta una estrecha vinculación con la concepción sobre el lenguaje en Beckett y, en particular, con su exploración de la expresión del silencio como límite de la literatura en su poética. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Beckettiana/article/view/9127 10.34096/beckettiana.n17.9127 spa Oficina de publicaciones.
