Book Description
La mélancolie porte en elle l'héritage d'une très longue histoire, qui aura traversé de multiples champs de la culture: médecine de l'âme et du corps, arts et littérature, philosophie, religion... L'imaginaire de Samuel Beckett, son esthétique aussi, n'ont eu de cesse de se confronter à toutes ces facettes de la mélancolie, de se jouer d'elles, de les réinventer. Comment, pour le génie mélancolique, mieux cerner le mal qu'en l'abordant de manière détournée, par le biais de ceux qui avant lui le rencontrèrent ou tentèrent de percer son obscurité - tels Démocrite, Dürer, Robert Burton ? A travers ces miroirs, et bien d'autres encore, la mélancolie beckettienne se réfléchit, met en scène son théâtre intérieur, cherche à s'arracher à une emprise mortifère, tente d'apercevoir son image propre - scrute la terre sans perdre de vue l'horizon.

Samuel Beckett's Critical Aesthetics
Author: Tim Lawrence
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319753991
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book considers how Samuel Beckett’s critical essays, dialogues and reflections drew together longstanding philosophical discourses about the nature of representation, and fostered crucial, yet overlooked, connections between these discourses and his fiction and poetry. It also pays attention to Beckett’s writing for little-magazines in France from the 1930s to the 1950s, before going on to consider how the style of Beckett’s late prose recalls and develops figures and themes in his critical writing. By providing a long-overdue assessment of Beckett’s work as a critic, this study shows how Beckett developed a new aesthetic in knowing dialogue with ideas including phenomenology, Kandinsky’s theories of abstraction, and avant-garde movements such as Surrealism. This book will be illuminating for students and researchers interested not just in Beckett, but in literary modernism, the avant-garde, European visual culture and philosophy.

Beckett, Lacan, and the Voice
Author: Llewellyn Brown
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 3838268199
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
The voice traverses Beckett’s work in its entirety, defining its space and its structure. Emanating from an indeterminate source situated outside the narrators and characters, while permeating the very words they utter, it proves to be incessant. It can alternatively be violently intrusive, or embody a calming presence. Literary creation will be charged with transforming the mortification it inflicts into a vivifying relationship to language. In the exploration undertaken here, Lacanian psychoanalysis offers the means to approach the voice’s multiple and fundamentally paradoxical facets with regards to language that founds the subject’s vital relation to existence. Far from seeking to impose a rigid and purely abstract framework, this study aims to highlight the singularity and complexity of Beckett’s work, and to outline a potentially vast field of investigation.
