This dissertation entitled Benjamin Fondane through his manuscripts. Genetics and poetic aims to shed new light on Benjamin Fondane’s manuscripts.

The critical methodologies applied to this work correspond to the poetical and the genetical approach. The genetical approach allowed us to enlighten and clarify the book-making process. The accurate study of the manuscripts allows us to define the main genetic features of a poetic in which the most important peculiarities of the writing are being put into place. In short, this is about analysing the poetic of an incomplete and unfinished work. In the first part of this dissertation, we made a brief historical point to the genetical critics and a presentation of Benjamin Fondane’s archives. In the second part, we reconstructed the various phases of writing of the poetry collection Le Mal des fantômes. We considered the deleted text and the space in Benjamin Fondane’s manuscripts, the style and the exogenetic process which progressively metamorphoses into endogenetic. Finally, the third part of the dissertation was dedicated to the existential poetic of the author. Starting from the two versions of Faux Traité d’esthétique (1925 and 1938), we investigated the poetry, the art and the very essence of the artistic creation.

Abstract

This dissertation entitled Benjamin Fondane through his manuscripts. Genetics and poetic aims to shed new light on Benjamin Fondane’s manuscripts. Here we took into consideration any form of “avant-texte” which contributed to the realization of the final text: drafts, typescripts, annotations, remarks, correspondence or other genetic resources. The critical methodologies applied to this work correspond to the poetical and the genetical approach. The genetical approach allowed us to enlighten and clarify the book-making process. The accurate study of the manuscripts allows us to define the main genetic features of a poetic in which the most important peculiarities of the writing are being put into place. In short, this is about analysing the poetic of an incomplete and unfinished work. In the first part of this dissertation, we made a brief historical point to the genetical critics and a presentation of Benjamin Fondane’s archives. In the second part, we reconstructed the various phases of writing of the poetry collection Le Mal des fantômes. We considered the deleted text and the space in Benjamin Fondane’s manuscripts, the style and the exogenetic process which progressively metamorphoses into endogenetic. Finally, the third part of the dissertation was dedicated to the existential poetic of the author. Starting from the two versions of Faux Traité d’esthétique (1925 and 1938), we investigated the poetry, the art and the very essence of the artistic creation. This dissertation contributes to the enrichment of the studies that lead to the genetic criticism applied to Benjamin Fondane’s manuscripts.

Cette thèse se propose de considérer l’œuvre de Benjamin Fondane sous l’angle de l’étude de ses manuscrits. L’objet principal autour duquel se développe cette étude est le manuscrit, c’est-à-dire tout document avant-textuel qui a contribué à la composition du texte final et qui est constitué de brouillons, d’états de manuscrits, de tapuscrits, d’annotations, de correspondance. L’approche poétique se conjugue avec l’approche génétique qui permet, dans de nombreux cas, d’expliquer l’élaboration des œuvres. L’étude approfondie des manuscrits nous permet de définir les traits distinctifs d’une génétique de la poétique mise en acte par le processus créatif et les dominantes les plus importantes de l’acte de l’écriture. Il s’agit ici d’analyser la poétique d’une œuvre inachevée dans le contexte génétique d’une création à la recherche d’elle-même. Dans la première partie, on considère comme nécessaire un aperçu historique sur la critique génétique et une présentation des archives fondaniennes. Dans la deuxième partie, nous entrons dans le cœur de la genèse fondanienne, à savoir la reconstruction des phases d’écriture du recueil Le Mal des fantômes, l’analyse de la rature et de l’espace, les observations sur ce qui reste de l’avant- texte dans le texte achevé́, les réflexions sur le style et sur les éléments exogénétique qui se transforment progressivement en matière endogénétique. Enfin, la troisième partie est consacrée à la poétique existentielle de Benjamin Fondane. À partir des deux versions du Faux Traité d’esthétique, de 1925 et 1938, on s’interroge à plusieurs reprises sur la poésie, l’art et l’essence de la création artistique. Cette recherche contribue à l’enrichissement des études sur la critique génétique appliquée aux manuscrits fondaniens.
