Parole littéraire, parole de fragment La littérature fragmentaire autour de l’œuvre de Maurice Blanchot

The fragment inscribes itself in the thickness of the word, and not in the expression of the word: “Fragment [is] a word, but with the force of a verb which is, however, absent.” Blanchot’s writing is of the same order: “the unformulated in the known word”. This is what we are seeking to illuminate: the fragment results from an impossibility which is not linked to an historical situation (the holocaust), but is rather the ontological expression of writing.
