Michel Leiris : genèse d'une « formation parasitaire » dans un fragment de A cor et à cri - article ; n°147 ; vol.36, pg 85-97

Langages - Année 2002 - Volume 36 - Numéro 147 - Pages 85-97
Michel Leiris often refers to the parasitic formations wich proliferate in his texts and wich, according to him, play only a secondary role. This article studies the genesis of one of them in an excerpt from ~~À cor et à cri~~. It shows that once the central anecdote has been told, Michel Leiris' writing work consists mainly in elaborating on the long digression situated in the first part of the passage. Leiris systematically introduces new elements as if this anecdote was only the basis of a digression that would constitute the real narrative in the text - the exhilarating search for all possible cross-words and junctions between words.
