This essay focuses on the aquatic metaphors in Benjamin Fondane’s Le Mal des fantômes, which forms the second part of his homonymous collection that also includes Ulysse, Titanic, L’Exode and Au temps du poème. In particular, the analysis aims to show the extent to which they contribute to the creation of a shifting and indefinite «non-place», which paradoxically gives rise to the «unresigned» voice of a poet whose renewed speech is transformed into a Promethean-like existential attestation.

Abstract

This essay focuses on the aquatic metaphors in Benjamin Fondane’s Le Mal des fantômes, which forms the second part of his homonymous collection that also includes Ulysse, Titanic, L’Exode and Au temps du poème. In particular, the analysis aims to show the extent to which they contribute to the creation of a shifting and indefinite «non-place», which paradoxically gives rise to the «unresigned» voice of a poet whose renewed speech is transformed into a Promethean-like existential attestation.
