KẾT CẤU HIỆN SINH TRONG TRƯỜNG CA NGỤ NGÔN CỦA NGƯỜI ĐÃNG TRÍ CỦA NGÔ KHA

Abstract

This paper interprets the structural composition of Ngo Kha’s epic poem “Allegory of an absent-minded” through the lens of existential philosophy. It identifies two central structural patterns: the cyclical structure and the illogical structure, regarded as distinctive features of existential structuring in the poem. The cyclical structure reflects the recurrence of space-time, both destructive and generative, enabling the subject to create and to engage existentially. The illogical structure conveys a fragmented and discontinuous space, shaping a form dependent on the subject’s journey. From this perspective, Ngo Kha appears not only as a poet of political and social engagement but also as a poet of artistic engagement - through unique experiments and poetic innovation.
