"Qui ceint l'énigme": L’inhumain dans la poésie de Marie-Claire Bancquart

Translated title of the contribution: "Surrounding secrecy": The inhuman in the poetry of Marie-Claire Bancquart

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter explores the poetic works of Marie-Claire Bancquart (born 1932) in its approach to the inhuman, understood both as the experience of the diseased body and as a potentially redeeming quest for what, of the real, eludes the human. This quest re-negotiates the place of the human in a perpetually metamorphic universe, re-inventing Western myths and mobilizing science as possible sites of encounter with the inhuman as enigma.
