(D)écrire dit-elle Le geste descriptif chez Duras

In a singular way, Marguerite Duras modifies the modalities of description, in the sense of a derealization that dilutes descriptive notation or even suppresses it with pure naming. Reference is overwhelmed by the poetic operation of writing in which a process of fantasmatization takes place. Repetition affects both the nature of the landscapes and the modes of formulation (anaphoras, recurring metaphors, and so on), which shape an intimate geography, reduced to an elementary palette.
