Hontologie comparée : de Lopes à Dalembert et Quaghebeur, au r(o)ugissement dans l’œuvre de Diane Meur

Abstract

Abstract The shame of being what they are in comparison with the Other supposed to have it (phallic jouissance) creates a relationship, leading to activism and/or symptom, between several characters of French-speaking writers as remote in space as Henri Lopes (Congo), Louis-Philippe Dalembert (Haiti) and Diane Meur (Belgium). The discomfort of the half-blood, Puerto Rican, Jew, for instance, which, for his part and speaking from Belgium, Marc Quaghebeur considers as giving rise to an “enjoyment of the complex,” opening it up onto the world. In Diane Meur’s work, a moral debt or a family secret occasion blush as a consequence of a state of profound ontological instability.
