Beginning in the sixth century C.E. and continuing for more than a thousand years, an extraordinary poetic practice was the trademark of a major literary movement in South Asia. Authors invented a special language to depict both the apparent and hidden sides of disguised or dual characters, and then used it to narrate India's major epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, simultaneously.Originally produced in Sanskrit, these dual narratives eventually worked their way into regional languages, especially Telugu and Tamil, and other artistic media, such as sculpture. Scholars have long dismissed simultaneous narration as a mere curiosity, if not a sign of cultural decline in medieval India. Yet Yigal Bronner's Extreme Poetry effectively negates this position, proving that, far from being a meaningless pastime, this intricate, "bitextual" technique both transcended and reinvented Sanskrit literary expression.The poems of simultaneous narration teased and estranged existing convention and showcased the interrelations between the tradition's foundational texts. By focusing on these achievements and their reverberations through time, Bronner rewrites the history of Sanskrit literature and its aesthetic goals. He also expands on contemporary theories of intertextuality, which have been largely confined to Western texts and practices.

Jeux de mots célèbre le pouvoir créateur des jeux de langage dans la littérature de Rabelais à nos jours. Calembour, mot-valise, bon mot, néologisme, mot-fétiche : ce volume collectif s’attache au jeu de mots littéraire dans des domaines aussi variés que l’onomastique littéraire et l’écriture à contraintes, aussi bien dans la prose que dans la poésie. Les études de spécialistes ici réunies montrent comment, de Rabelais à Richard Millet en passant par Roussel et Roubaud et de Mallarmé à Fargue en passant par Apollinaire et le ‘nonsense verse’, la prose et la poésie explorent la productivité des mots, leur pouvoir de métamorphose et leur aptitude à faire infiniment glisser le sens. Le volume se termine par une ouverture sur le jeu de mots en philosophie et au cinéma. Jeux de mots celebrates the creative power of wordplay from Rabelais to present times. Puns, portmanteaus, ‘bon mots’, neologisms, fetish-words: this collective volume focuses on literary wordplay in very different fields such as literary onomastics and constrained writing, both in prose and in poetry. Specialists in the field show how, from Rabelais to Richard Millet through Roussel and Roubaud and from Mallarmé to Fargue through Apollinaire and ‘nonsense verse’, prose and poetry explore the productivity of words, their power of metamorphosis and their capacity to make meaning shift. The volume ends with a section on wordplay in philosophy and the cinema.

Les bons mots, les jeux de mots et les jeux sur les mots "sont de tous les temps, de tous les pays, de tous les types d'écrits et de discours. Ils sont présents sur la scène politique comme sur celle du théâtre, dans la publicité comme dans la grande littérature, au coeur des chansons comme dans le champ de la psychanalyse. Boutade, mot d'esprit, calembour, charade, mot-valise, rime, anagramme, contrepèterie, "antistrophe" en sont autant de déclinaisons, et la liste est loin d'être close. Comment fonctionnent-ils ? Peuvent-ils passer d'une culture à une autre, d'une langue à une autre ? Pourquoi joue-t-on ainsi avec les mots ? Pour faire rire ou pour séduire ? à dessein ou malgré soi ? Autant de questions qui intéressent de nombreux domaines - linguistique, stylistique, traductologie, psychanalyse - et qu'explorent les articles de ce recueil croisant les points de vue de divers spécialistes.
