Summary/Abstract: This article tackles the issue of alienation in the “Gestes et opinions du Docteur Faustroll, Pataphysicien”, by Alfred Jarry. To do so, it analyzes a few of the metaphorical islands found in Book III, “De Paris à Paris par mer”. The analysis also posits a link with a lacanian concept: lalangue.
