"This book treats a constellation of French poets whose work began appearing in the 1970s: Jacques Roubaud, Emmanuel Hocquard, Danielle Collobert, Anne Portugal, and Jacques Jouet. Roubaud is the most famous among the five-a giant in current French letters. He and Jouet are both part of Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, or Oulipo, a movement well-known for using constraints in creating their work. Hocquard, who shared Roubaud's interest in Wittgenstein and photography, and Jouet's in the everyday, is known as a "literal" poet. Collobert, whom Roubaud and Hocquard admired, was a Beckett-like writer. And Anne Portugal has a baroque temperament-even kitsch, she says-while reserving great respect for the austere Hocquard and for Roubaud, expert formalist. Rather than address each of these five poets separately, Ann Smock moves among their books, drawing them into a juxtaposition that shows each to great advantage, while providing a milieu suitable for philosophical reflection-on identity, on not-being and being, on communication, and on secrets. Thinkers such as Wittgenstein and Giorgio Agamben contribute to the conversation, as do Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot. Though the poems considered here are often thought difficult, Smock maintains a light touch throughout. Observing their musicality, she writes in an accessible, even pleasurable style while contributing to the scholarly study of literature at the border shared by poetry and philosophy"--

L'Ouvroir de littérature potentielle (Oulipo) est né en 1960 et demeure aujourd'hui bien vivace. En dialogue avec un certain Xanthiphas, nous proposons de renouveler la critique oulipienne de manière ontologique et ludique. L'Oulipo est analysé au regard de passages clés du passé, tels que l'ère des Grands Rhétoriqueurs et le traumatisme de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, sans oublier l'influence des surréalistes et de Bourbaki. L'apport pataphysique est nuancé car la généalogie préoulipienne remonte chez ses deux fondateurs, François Le Lionnais et Raymond Queneau, aux années 1930. Sera posée également la question de l'intégration assez tardive des femmes en son sein. Enfin, des informations inédites provenant des archives de l'Oulipo offriront une meilleure contextualisation de l'évolution du groupe.

The French Connections of Jacques Derrida offers stimulating and accessible essays that address, for the first time, the issue of Derrida's relation to French poetics, writing, thought, and culture. In addition to offering considerations of Derrida through studies of such significant French authors as Mallarm, Baudelaire, Valry, Laporte, Ponge, Perec, Blanchot, and Barthes, the book also reassesses the development of Derrida's work in the context of structuralism, biology, and linguistics in the 1960s, and looks at the possible relationships between Derrida's writing and that of the Surrealist and Oulipa groups. Derrida is introduced as one whose work is as much poetic as it is philosophical, and who is strikingly French and yet not unproblematically so.[Contributors include Boris Belay, John Brannigan, Christopher Johnson, John P. Leavey, Jr., Ian Maclachlan, Jessica Maynard, Laurent Milesi, Ruth Robbins, Michael Syrotinski, Michael Temple, Burhan Tufail, and Julian Wolfreys.]
