Abstract

« Le but de l’écriture, c’est de porter la vie à l’état d’une puissance non personnelle », nous dit Gilles Deleuze. En définissant ainsi la littérature, Deleuze nous demande de ne plus la penser en termes thématiques, ni même génériques, mais plutôt en termes d’activité et de créativité. De sa définition, entre esthétique et esquisse d’une théorie de la réception, de « l’impersonnel » du texte littéraire comme « flux qui conjugue avec d’autres flux », naissent de nombreuses questions : l’impersonnel peut-il nous aider à mieux penser le texte et, inversement, aider le texte à se penser soi-même ? Comment le texte et l’écriture amènent-ils l’écrivain à dépasser le seuil de sa propre vie, son propre contexte, sa propre histoire pour toucher quelque chose en dehors de la vie ? Qu’arrive-t-il au lecteur d’un tel texte ? Qu’advient-il dans cette rencontre entre lecteur et texte impersonnel ? Ouvert à toutes les littératures d’Europe et d’Amérique, cet ouvrage est la réponse de chercheurs, de philosophes et de poètes à cette notion problématique. Par-delà la définition deleuzienne, il s’agit d’établir un dialogue entre l’impersonnel et les concepts connexes d’impersonnalité, de dépersonnalisation et de voix collective en littérature. Pour que l’impersonnel ne soit pas simplement le négatif d’une personnalisation valorisée.

Abstract

This book aims to expand our sense of poetry's reach and potential impact. It is an effort at recouping the poetic imperative buried within the first taxonomic description of human being: "nosce te ipsum," or "know yourself." Johanna Skibsrud explores both poetry and human being not as fixed categories but as active processes of self-reflection and considers the way that human being is constantly activated within and through language and thinking. By examining a range of modern and contemporary poets including Wallace Stevens, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Anne Carson, all with an interest in playfully disrupting sense and logic and eliciting unexpected connections, The Poetic Imperative highlights the relationship between the practice of writing and reading and a broad tradition of speculative thought. It also seeks to demonstrate that the imperative "know yourself" functions not only as a command to speak and listen, but also as a call to action and feeling. The book argues that poetic modes of knowing - though central to poetry understood as a genre - are also at the root of any conscious effort to move beyond the subjective limits of language and selfhood in the hopes of touching upon the unknown. Engaging and erudite, The Poetic Imperative is an invitation to direct our attention simultaneously to the finite and embodied limits of selfhood, as well as to what those limits touch: the infinite, the Other, and truth itself.

Abstract

"Altered states of consciousness--including experiences of deprivation, pain, hallucination, fear, desire, alienation, and spiritual transcendence--can transform the ordinary experience of selfhood. Unselfing explores the nature of disruptive self-experiences and the different shapes they have taken in literary writing. The book focuses on the tension between rival conceptions of unselfing as either a form of productive self-transcendence or a form of alienating self-loss. Michaela Hulstyn explores the shapes and meanings of unselfing through the framework of the global French literary world, encompassing texts by modernist figures in France and Belgium alongside writers from Algeria, Rwanda, and Morocco. Together, these diverse texts prompt a re-evaluation of the consequences of the loss or the transcendence of the self. Through a series of close readings, Hulstyn offers a new account of the ethical questions raised by altered states and shows how philosophies of empathy can be tested against and often challenged by literary works. Drawing on cognitive science and phenomenology, Unselfing provides a new methodology for approaching texts that give shape to the fringes of conscious experience."--
