Writing and sense of life: What we learn from Beckett’s work
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2018.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : In Beckett’s work, language is mangled, eroded, perforated. Here, writing is a work on language, a way to dig up what he called the “unfathomable abyss of silence” within it. The writer tells us that his practice doesn’t only contain an aesthetic issue. He said that writing was a way “to breathe”, and we will try to specify this link between a practice and a vital function. Beckett talked about the feeling of being “less alive than dead”, what we call, along with Jacques Lacan, a disturbance of the “sense of life”, and we will try to determine how writing could be a means of treating this disturbance, how his work could be a way of fighting the feeling of an extinction.
