Quelques métaphores de la condition migrante dans Éloge du migrant d’Adrien Pasquali
Some metaphors of the Migrant‘s Condition in Adrien Pasquali's Eulogy of the Migrant

Summary/Abstract: It is not unusual for a poet such as Philippe Jaccottet, one of the most important contemporary French poets, to become dreamy about pure significants, mostly represented by foreign nouns. Such a « linguistic turn » for a « poet of the Spirit » and not « of the Letter », as Jean-Claude Pinson puts it, covers a range of meanings. The present paper aims at shedding some light on such controversial issues by examining Jaccottet’s poetic process of semantic re-motivation in the case of three foreign place-names: Russia, Norway and Andalusia.
