For a phenomenology of the event The parti pris of Ponge

Drawing on the work of Claude Romano and Jean-Luc Marion, this article aims to demonstrate how Ponge’s poetry displays a veritable phenomenology of the event. As an epiphanic consecration of events, poetry succeeds in tearing the world (and the language that describes it) away from all predictability, from attempts to impose order on it, and from the reign of objectivity. Such a mechanism reflects the world as it first emerges, allowing the reader to experience it with wonder.
