Résumé En Fr

«Where there were gleams » . Between Fantasy, Thought and Logic : A General Reconsideration of Beckettian Character Beckettian character is modelled on an abstract discourse which formally reduces and eliminates any singularity of experience. The general formulations, logical constructions and the rational analysis of problems and their solutions, have their base both in psychotic thought structures and formalist ideology. Beckett, nonetheless, moves us by problematising the «dimensions» of his characters, their condition of possibility, their «limitis» as imaginable, thinkable entities.

«Where there were gleams » . Between Fantasy, Thought and Logic : A General Reconsideration of Beckettian Character Le personnage beckettien est modelé sur un discours abstrait et formel, qui s'attache à réduire, voire éliminer le singulier et le vécu. Si les formulations générales, les constructions logiques ainsi que l'analyse rationnelle des problèmes et de leurs solutions ressemblent aux processus de la pensée des psychotiques, elles font également preuve d'une influence formaliste de la part de Beckett. En problématisant les «dimensions» de ses personnages, leurs conditions de possibilité, -leurs limites imaginables et pensables -, Beckett réussit, néanmoins, à nous émouvoir.
