Arturo A. Roig y Henri Meschonnic : aventura de dos pensamientos

Abstract

Although from different fields, Argentinian philosopher Arturo Andrés Roig (1922-2012) and French translator and poet Henri Meschonnic (1932-2009) shared an interest in language as the articulating point of their thoughts on History and subject. With this as starting point, it is possible to suggest that two of their most relevant concepts complement each other; respectively: discursive universe and orality. In order to illustrate this, a brief journey will be taken through each author’s intellectual career; then the conceptual discussion will take place and, finally, Simón Rodríguez’s writing will be discussed as an example.
