Synopsis "ANNE CARSON IN COUNTERPOINT: On Eros in Sappho and an Embodied Semiosic Translation (Contrapuntos poéticos)"

Anne Carson’s Eros the Bittersweet defines desire as lack: there, the lover craves for what is absent, and the sweetness and bitterness of Sappho’s glykypikron register that structure in the body. I must say that, while I accept this diagnosis of the body, I oppose its ontology. Through nine counterpoints of my own, on Frr. 102, 136, 168B, 126, 55, 131, 128, 36, and 49, each composed against Sappho’s Aeolic and not against any English version, I argue that the beloved is not what desire lacks but what desire cannot take: an irreducible other whose nearness leaves difference intact. Each chapter builds three layers: An Aeolic text whose dialect forms I verify, an embodied semiosic translation that preserves the order of Sappho’s cues, and a poem that answers the fragment as one sign answers another. Together the nine yield a philosophy of Eros as relation across difference: non-possessive, belated, addressed, and carried on air.
