Entre dentelle et fragment : évolution de la tactique du vide rimbaldienne de la Saison aux Illuminations
Between Lace and Fragment : an evolution of Rimbaud’s Tactic of Emptiness from« A Season in Hell » to « Illuminations »

Summary/Abstract: « A Season in Hell » and « Illuminations » both of these collections are considered as masterpieces of Rimbaud’s poetry. Whereas « A Season in Hell » is presented as his artistic testimony, « Illuminations », on the other hand, isconsidered by critics as an abstruse writing, an enigma. Acknowledging critical inheritance on this topic, as well as inherent differences of both collections, this article will show that a link could be found between these two works. This thread, which creates what we would like to call Rimbaud’s embrodery was created by himself through silence and words. That is this will of Rimbaud for these bothsworks and readers, that we will discuss here, a strategy that we have named : Tactic of Emptiness.
