DISSOLUTION DU SUJET ET SPECULARITE MINERALE DANS LA POETIQUE DE ROGER CAILLOIS
DISSOLUTION OF THE SUBJECT AND MINERAL SPECULARITY IN THE POETICS OF ROGER CAILLOIS

Summary/Abstract: Dissolution of the Subject and Mineral Specularity in the Poetics of Roger Caillois. Heir to analogical thought – which is a scientific, philosophical and poetic thought of nature – Roger Caillois develops a demanding poetic ethics. Postulating, in his critical and poetic work, the necessary dissolution of the subject, Caillois only seeks to strengthen his presence, to ward off his fear of indistinction and to ensure, ultimately, his own scriptural legitimacy. In doing so, he chooses stone, which he opposes to the indecent volubility of the plant, as a literary model of sustainability, as the emblem of his poetics and as a lyrical mirror through which alone he agrees to appear in his own text.
