Transformation Of Myth Into Poetic Discourse In Baudelaire: Dionysos

Abstract

In this study, the cognitive discourse of the poem Soul of the Wine (l'Ame du Vin) of Baudelaire will be examined in the framework of Dionysos’s myth. We see that the poet tells the adventure of the humanity through the adventure of wine making by making the mythological god speak and using his story in the poem. The poet, with a sense of symbolization peculiar to him, finds the chance to include his ideas about the humans in his poems through the myth of wine. The subject of the poem utters the lines in the future tense with using the words of Dionysos and implicating his goodwill in terms of deriving benefits. Examining Baudelaire’s special grammar becomes a requirement in transferring the myth into a different perception level and in these transferences which connect the deep and surface structures. In this context, the poem will be examined by taking into consideration whether the myth corresponds to its counterpart in the human cognition or not. The cognitive discourse of Baudelaire’s poetry consists of depicting the human with his simple, everyday concerns or telling the situations and the events that he witnesses in  the vocabulary of the myth. As a poet, he evaluates the insensitive masses in terms of the humanitarian values, he concentrates on total positive design principles and by activating the readers’ prior knowledge, he writes his poems with metaphors coherent with the wine signifier. He prefers the method in which he makes the readers find the truth through myths by navigating them from the data available to unavailable. In conclusion, it can be said that the myth of Dionysos forms the poetic discourse of Baudelaire.
