Segalen or the art of in-between

Singular, reflexive, itinerant, Segalen's journey seems an unresolved interrogation of what lies between contrasts, oppositions, limits and extremities. We will ask how the motif of the in-between shapes his literary and personal project. The aim is to assess the many contextual, aesthetic and linguistic dynamics employed by the poet to open up a free symbolic space in which to exercise his imagination.
