Ciaran Carson, écfrasis, intimidad, literatura norirlandesa, espacios domésticosResumen
A pesar de la publicación de tres libros refiriéndose directamente a la intersección entre texto y obras visuales — Fishing for Amber (1999), Shamrock Tea (2001), Still Life (2019) — la obra de Ciaran Carson no ha recibido considerable atención con respecto a su contribución al tema de la poesía ecfrástica en la literatura irlandesa. Varios textos, por el otro lado, se han dedicado a la discusión de la calidad territorial y espacial de su poesía y prosa. Este artículo busca acortar la distancia entre ambos campos replanteando el modo ecfrástico como la aproximación de un contacto íntimo pero ilusorio entre autor, lector, y texto. Usando el papel doble del ‘estudio,’ entendido tanto como un dibujo de práctica y una habitación privada, este artículo argumenta que la colección final de Ciaran Carson, Still Life, representa una nueva interpretación de cómo las conexiones íntimas en espacios domésticos pueden ser presentadas en la literatura norirlandesa.
