Parole rayonnante d’une réalité impossible: trois récits de Maurice Blanchot
Splendid speech of the impossible reality: three récits of Maurice Blanchot

Summary/Abstract: The œuvre of M. Blanchot belongs to "the age of suspicion": it explores various relations between reality and our capacity to report it. "Thomas l'obscur", "Au moment voulu" and "Celui qui ne m'accompagnat pas" are "récits" (event story), where the logic of narration is completely perturbated : while the language is very subjective (modal verbs, verbs of opinion, affectif adjectifs and adverbs etc.), the narrator is looking for its disappearance. It's the paradoxe ot the subjectivity in absentia. The instance of discourse is omnipresent in "récits" of Blanchot and it seems to dislodge such traditional narratif structures as plot, hero or time and space of narration. The text is always in reciprocal relation with itself, so that creates nonsolvable space between the writing and the representation, between the signification and the text in its materiality.
