Abstract

We tackle the problem of how to think of a phenomenology of the unseeable, understanding this term in a strong sense: It is about an immanent invisibility, that of absence, that of the subjunctive. We investigate to what extent the unseeable is related to absence, what does it mean to become aware of that absence, and to project meaning out from it. To this, we make use of recent advances in the field of astrophysics: the "observation" of objects in nature that make, in fact, the immanently invisible; objects that are defined by the absence of the very space-time in which they are.
