Poetic Becomings

Studies in Contemporary French Literature

Beschreibung

What does contemporary French poetry do to the subject? This book examines the means and effects of the subject's transmutation into various processes of (de-)subjectivation by looking at the works of four contemporary writers: Christian Prigent, Dominique Fourcade, Olivier Cadiot and Hubert Lucot. The author explores their work in the context of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy, building a critical apparatus - a 'poetics of becoming' - that informs close readings of poems and prose. Moving beyond established criteria of classical literary criticism, the book both offers a comparative discussion of Deleuze's notions of literature and provides new insights into French writing, addressing the political dimension of contemporary poetry from the perspective of current theoretical radicalism.

Rezensionen

«Game's book is wholly original and well-argued, and a rich source of ideas for any scholar in the field. It should also be of interest to a public curious about sources of recent developments in French writing.» (Nathalie Wourm, French Forum 37, 2012/3)
