Matérialité et é-motion dans les écrits d’Henry Bauchau
Materiality and E-Motion in the Writings of Henry Bauchau

Summary/Abstract: The post-war literary context in which the Belgian writer Henry Bauchau starts its activity, fully supports a materialist approach of the creation; the verbal material being included into the materiality of the world, it does not oppose the spirit but it represents an occasion for revival. Following this trend, the aesthetic of Henry Bauchau appears to be anchored in a mineral imaginary. The stone, the sand, the salt, the volcano, the telluric phenomena are the signifiers which structure a meta-discourse on the verbal material situated between silence and emergence, but also on the stages of artistic creation, from its genesis until it reaches its final passing through different transformations.
