Les instances de l’énonciation poétique
The Instances of Poetic Discourse

Summary/Abstract: The narrative instances can be identified, under various forms, in the poetic text; thus, one operates with the empirical author and the empirical reader (both defined in extratextual terms), with the model author and the model reader, with textual strategies regulated within a contractual space, with the poetic self (roughly corresponding to the narrator). One may also identify the “receiver” (the equivalent of the fictional reader) and the intratextual figures by which the aforementioned instances are actualized. Their identification appears rather difficult, as each of these instances can belong to several pragmatic levels. Their identification and interpretation conduce to the understanding of polyphonic superposition of voices.
