Auswahl der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zum Thema „Göran Sonnevi“

This thesis focuses on how Göran Sonnevis poetry, particularly KOSTER 2002 in Oceanen (2005), and how the poem portrays how the main character encounters divine concepts of entirety using mathematic terminology. The divine concept of eternity is referred to as nunc-stans and hic-stans, terms coined by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes and explicitly referenced to in the poetry of Oceanen. The study locates where in KOSTER 2002 the encounters appears and accounts for how the mathematic terminology is affiliated with divinity and the concepts of nunc-and hic-stans. This study shows how the poem expresses an ontological view of the existence, which is a fundamental aspect of the poetry in Oceanen. The study concludes that the view of the existence is that “everything there is” is connected and integrated with one another. When the main character experiences fragments of nunc-and hic-stans this refers to the integration of existence, in which the particular (the main characters subjective experiences) is connected to the universal (concepts of eternity and mathematical theories) and vice versa.
