Abstract
Günther Anders's interpretation of Paul Celan's poetry is ambivalent, and could easily be misunderstood as an attack against it. Inspired by the possible inversion of the Danaian gift interpreted as an allegory, the article suggests to read Anders' approach as an attack against Celan's admirers. By provoking them to defend Celan's ‘Todesfuge’, Anders indicates that an exclusively affirmative culture is suspect of a fatal blindness for “the other”.
