Samuel Beckett 2 : “Parole, regard et corps”
Chez Beckett, l’écriture articule intimement la dimension esthétique à l’implication subjective du créateur. Dans le premier volume de la Série, nous avons abordé certains aspects de l’impulsion créatrice de Beckett. Dans ce deuxième volume, nous situons des effets esthétiques au sein d’une triangulation structurante. D’abord, la parole, et le silence qui l’excède. Ensuite l’image, avec le regard qui sous-tend le visible. Ces deux faces se nouent enfin à l’endroit où l’écriture s’éprouve dans l’irréductible matérialité du corps.
In Beckett’s work, writing—in its structural meaning, independently of the medium in which it is realised—intimately articulates the æsthetic dimension with the question of the creator’s subjective implication. In the first volume of this Series (titled L’Ascèse du sujet), we dealt with some aspects of the question of what seems to inform Beckett’s creative impulse. This second volume offers us the possibility of pursuing a closely related theme, but with a change of perspective. The studies here aim to situate certain æsthetic effects within a structuring triangle. Thus we start with the discriminating function of the signifier, in the form of articulated speech, and as a voice which, in the form of silence, exceeds it. The question of the image is then examined, in relation with the gaze that underlies it. Finally, the binding of these two facets is confirmed at the very place where writing is experienced in the irreducible materiality of the body.
