The once dominant role played by the art of aphorism in the various
genres of European literature is a thing of the past. The present
study sets out to show why traditional contemporary aphoristic
writing is frequently derivative and how the poet Elazar BenyoAtz
breaks with the conventions prevailing in it. Of significance here,
as in the much broader currents of contemporary philosophy, is the
way in which the individual 'other' attains a new status over and
against the 'self' in BenyoAtz' work. Whereas in traditional
aphoristic writing the 'other' is largely addressed via the
unmasking of collective clichA(c)s, BenyoAtz draws upon the
individualising elements of aphoristic discourse to achieve an
individualisation of the 'other'.
