Cet article porte sur les usages de la lecture et des textes litteraires dans La Lecon d’anatomie de Philip Roth (1983) : l’interpretation des echos intertextuels entend etre ici etroitement articulee a l’etude du portrait de l’artiste en lecteur dans la diegese romanesque. Ecrivain malade, souffrant d’une douleur chronique a la nuque et d’un manque tout aussi chronique d’inspiration, le Zuckerman de La Lecon d’anatomie se tourne vers la lecture de textes sur la maladie, le mal et la souffrance, qui se revelent etre des remedes inadaptes mais de bons revelateurs du rapport irreverencieux qu’entretient le texte de Roth au canon de la litterature europeenne. Cet article s’efforcera de cerner plus precisement la nature de cette irreverence litteraire, en montrant comment l’incorporation d’une influence suppose chez Roth une forme de destruction partielle a travers la transformation parodique ou burlesque. Nous tenterons neanmoins de montrer que la dynamique irreverencieuse de l’ecriture n’empeche pas une forme de sacralisation attachee a certaines zones de texte et d’experience.
本文的重点是菲利普·罗斯(Philip Roth)的《解剖学课》(the Lecon of anatomie, 1983)中阅读和文学文本的使用:在这里,互文回声的解释旨在与小说叙事中作为读者的艺术家肖像的研究密切相关。作家病人患有慢性疼痛、颈部和一位缺乏灵感,也是慢性Zuckerman Lecon转向阅读文本上解剖疾病、伤害和痛苦,出现revelent做报告的直接启示inadaptes良好但irreverencieux案文与罗斯在欧洲文学的炮灰。本文将试图更准确地界定这种文学不敬的本质,展示在罗斯的作品中,一种影响的整合是如何通过戏仿或滑稽的转变而导致部分破坏的。然而,我们将试图表明,圣经中不敬的动态并不妨碍一种附在文本和经验某些领域的神圣化形式。

Organized as a diptych to reproduce the inner organization of the novel, the present article aims to show that Sabbath’s Theater stages a fight between Eros and Thanatos that apparently results in an unexpected tie-game of a nature to challenge many a theoretical aesthetic and psychoanalytical assumption. The energies of the Love Instinct are pit up against the forces of the Death Drive in the arena of a constant confrontation of harrowing obscenity and transgression juxtaposed with distressing representations of the haunting of death and forebodings of suicide. Highly destabilizing, the text thus locks its reader in a theater of rejection and sympathy that does not leave him/her unscathed, and ultimately produces an experiment in form that helps understand why Roth considered it his best achievement.

The Human Stain is a novel of secrets: the novel of a man’s secret—the secret of a literature professor, Coleman Silk. The secret which the narrative inquires about and discloses is not a mere, nor a unique reality, but an always already duplicated and complex one. Zuckerman’s novel, embedded in Roth’s, is the narrative of a passion that is not unrelated to what Jacques Derrida calls “the secret without secret” of literature. Nathan is a homodiegetic narrator whose witnessing and connection to the character of Coleman eventually takes on an unexpected and growing place in the narrative.

Chris Kraus’ texts show a great fascination with the figure of the artist as loser, which is most famously the case with her 1997 cult novel I Love Dick. This article questions the strategies deployed by the writer to explore the paradoxical logic of the loser – starting with the idea of what, exactly, is meant by losing in a culture in which one rejects the standards that define winning. Kraus promotes the letter/diary as a deliberately minor literary mode, situating her work within an intellectual and artistic tradition that identifies itself with the margins of the literary and art worlds. Here, the artist thinks of herself in terms of rivalry: rivalry with her own ambitions as well as with the artistic institutions she tries to find a place in. By valorizing losing as a mode of authenticity, Chris Kraus brings to the fore a tradition of subversion within a world of various coded rivalries (between men and women, between overt and shameful desire, between artists in the art market, etc.) and in doing so establishes the art of losing as a radical ethical position.
克里斯·克劳斯(Chris Kraus)的文本对艺术家作为失败者的形象表现出极大的迷恋,这在她1997年的邪典小说《我爱迪克》(I Love Dick)中最为著名。本文质疑作者为探索失败者的矛盾逻辑而采用的策略——首先是在一个拒绝定义胜利的标准的文化中,失败究竟意味着什么。克劳斯有意将书信/日记作为一种次要的文学模式,将她的作品置于一种知识和艺术传统中,这种传统将自己定位于文学和艺术世界的边缘。在这里,艺术家从竞争的角度思考自己:与自己的野心以及与她试图在其中找到一席之地的艺术机构的竞争。通过将失去作为一种真实的模式进行估价,克里斯·克劳斯在一个充满各种编码竞争(男人和女人之间,公开和可耻的欲望之间,艺术市场上的艺术家之间,等等)的世界中突出了颠覆的传统,并通过这样做建立了失去的艺术作为一种激进的伦理立场。
