Maurice Blanchot and the figure of Lautréamont’s memory

This article traces the critical development of the figure of Lautréamont in Maurice Blanchot’s critical work from the 1940s. More specifically, it seeks to understand how this figure became a figure of remembrance, i.e., a symbolic figure which, through its various hermeneutic incarnations, has endured in the literary memory of the Blanchot reader while expressing the historical singularity of its reading framework.
