For Benjamin Fondane, poetry "n'a nullement pour tâche de solidifier les objets, les spatialiser, convertir le dynamique en statique [...] mais tout au contraire, de convertir le statique en dynamique". Such an aim illuminates the presence in "Le Mal des fantômes" of a series of water metaphors welcoming and amplifying the needs of a word that claims to be in motion, fluid, almost aquatic. This essay shows how the analogical figure contributes to release this "courant" - evoking in some cases the notion of fluidity - which for Fondane constitutes the final goal of artistic process as the realisation of a different aesthetics but also and above all as the expression of a movement of the soul.

Abstract
For Benjamin Fondane, poetry "n'a nullement pour tâche de solidifier les objets, les spatialiser, convertir le dynamique en statique [...] mais tout au contraire, de convertir le statique en dynamique". Such an aim illuminates the presence in "Le Mal des fantômes" of a series of water metaphors welcoming and amplifying the needs of a word that claims to be in motion, fluid, almost aquatic. This essay shows how the analogical figure contributes to release this "courant" - evoking in some cases the notion of fluidity - which for Fondane constitutes the final goal of artistic process as the realisation of a different aesthetics but also and above all as the expression of a movement of the soul.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
