Abstract

The following essay discloses Gaston Bachelard’s principle of imagetic isomorphism and proposes it as the very foundation of the literary versant of his work. Not only does isomorphism ground his the philosopher’s reflection on the oneiric performance of the four cosmic elements, but it also sustains the phenomenological hermeneutics that launches the two poetics written by him. The constitution of a poetic space is a pledge of the tight weaving of its images. To show the literary effectiveness of this principle we present a detailed study of The Poetics of Space, unveiling the strong inner coherence of the book, which is plotted and held thanks to the imagetic isomorphism. We close our study with some comments on a short and remarkable poem by Rilke.
