La poésie de Denis Roche. Proposition d’un protocole de lecture : une pragmatique érotique

Denis Roche’s poetry is a poetry which both calls for a rereading for its own sake, because of the strength of its lyricism, and which raises key issues for theory and critique, from structuralism until the current revival of aesthetics. Taking into account previous readings by C. Prigent, J.-M. Gleize and D. Kunz, here is proposed and illustrated a protocol of reading defined as an erotical pragmatics. It is grounded in a pragmatic dimension of the poem whose relevance is not based on the search for understanding, but takes place on the scene where desire tells itself, as it has been analysed by Jacques Lacan. It is therefore suggested that the reading scene cannot be dissociated from the scene of writing, in other words aesthetics from poetics, which is always a singular poetics.
