« La chute était leur trajectoire » Erreurs et échecs chez Pierre Senges

In Essais fragiles d’aplomb and Environs et mesures, Pierre Senges constructs eccentric and inverted encyclopedias. He plays with the traditional forms of positive erudition and disturbs our triumphant view of knowledge. These works even contain a discreetly moralist dimension: They portray humans as proud but fallible creatures and confirm the need for error. Through humor, they invite readers to recognize their limitations and engage in “mediocre” wisdom.
