Le Pacte écrivain-lecteurEn partant du rapport entre création et débordement psychique, cet ouvrage s'interroge sur la production littéraire du génie créateur.
Les aspects psychiques les plus saillants de l'écriture véritable viennent rappeler le coût décisif de l'oeuvre, lequel peut être mieux compris en explorant le pacte relationnel qui se tisse avec le lecteur.S'adressant tant aux psychanalystes qu'aux littéraires, ce texte proposera une contextualisation critique du rapport écrivain-lecteur à l'ère hypermoderne.The Writer-reader pactThe genius of literary creation is something to be wondered at. The individual withdraws from the world and feverishly devotes himself to an immense and costly project, capable of pulverizing the meaning of his existence.Like an enchanter, the author captivates his reader with the flamboyant, unprecedented images that emerge from his composition. And it's precisely by grasping the decisive psychic experiences through which the writer allows himself to be traversed in order to bring the work into being that the opacity of his act is not entirely resolved.We need to rehabilitate the relational function assumed by the reader - this is the thesis of this book - and delve into the literary, even erotic, pact that is decided between author and reader, to continue to give meaning to genial creation. The writer-reader relationship, this side of the book, could be read as the sine qua non condition, the indispensable basin for building the ship and thinking about the crossing of the troubled waters of psychic life offered by the moment of reading.Addressed to psychoanalysts and literary scholars alike, this essay will focus on the relationship between creation and psychic overflow, addressing the salient psychic features of the work of writing and proposing numerous hypotheses surrounding the writer-reader pact.Four authors will be examined: Vladimir Nabokov, Fernando Pessoa, Oscar Wilde and John Kennedy Toole. Finally, we'll look at the possible links between the analytical cure and the literary relationship, ending with a critical contextualization of the writer-reader relationship in the present era.
