Depuis une vingtaine d'années, on assiste à une vague de parutions consacrées aux rapports entre la poésie brève orientale et les grands poètes occidentaux qui s’inscrivent dans la tradition du « poème-instant » dont la forme la plus connue est le haïku. Le poème bref, comparé tantôt à la photographie tantôt à l’image de l’éclair, est souvent perçu comme rétif au récit, à la narration : il évoque un instant éphémère, fulgurant et donne à voir un état poétique pur, hors du temps. Pourtant, la temporalité n’est pas absente des poèmes brefs et peut même fonctionner comme un vecteur apte à rapprocher des poètes très différents. Les dix chercheurs dont les études sont rassemblées ici, spécialistes de poésie japonaise et de poésie occidentale, s’intéressent aux liens que le traitement du temps peut tisser entre des poètes japonais et occidentaux, graves ou ludiques, voyageurs ou sédentaires.

This book scrutinizes the body as represented in literature of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in and around East Asia: China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia. The scope of the volume is thematic: saturated bodies, repressed bodies, reappropriated bodies, trans-formed bodies. The methodology combines as many disciplines as possible: narratology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, cultural history of the body, etc. History’s vicissitudes of history in the area concerned do not erase old conceptions of the body, as well as related discourses and legends, but the shock of modernization splits the body between an anatomized one, in search of identity mostly repressed by the nation, and a virtual one, generated by the cyberspace. Literature most often accounts for the phenomenon as if the autonomy of the body, still at stake, conditioned the so-called autonomy of writing. Two tendencies also appear in writing: a classical one, still restoring the body's deficiencies and excesses ; an experimental one, which manages to renew the link of the body with an alienating world, even if that implies breaking the language. An experience that is quite similar, all in all, to that of the West. A number of unpublished and translated extracts illustrate the whole.
