Dérèglements des sens de l’histoire Poétique et idéologie

The present study proposes to reassess the question of Arthur Rimbaud’s poetic politics by grappling with the points of intersection (and of incompatibility) between ideology and the poetic. Rimbaud introduces political trouble into the well-ordered city of French verse as early as the 1870 corpus, in which poetry functions, inter alia, as a mode of political participation, contestation, and emancipation.
