Where these data come from
Space and reading time. A balcony in the forest, Julien Gracq

Abstract

Between a narrative and poem, says Jean-Yves Tadié, is the poetic narrative, as ‘a phenomenon of transition’, as a structure which may be captured in its dynamism, in the interval of two often expected and defined forms, which Gracq did not want to adhere to. Here, our reflection begins with these inevitable spatial metaphors, by this kind, the poetic narrative, which Tadié claims to generate a type of ‘adventure (but problematic), located in a space and time (but determined otherwise)’. We recognise this alterity of the spatial and temporal framework, and believe it tenfold by the movement of reading it and making it live in the imagination of the person reading it. Our guideline is therefore to analyse the impact of the representation of the movement, from the work to the individual producing the act of reading. While stylistic tools seem to us to be the best to go into the details of writing, we will draw on a systemic approach using philosophical, psychanalytic and anthropological reflections during development. Our curiosity will initially look at how the geography and timing differ from a traditional pattern, looking at the narrative framework and descriptive mode of a balcony in the forest. The role of imagination, induced by the narrative, will form our second basis for reflection on the process of kinetic creation of reception. Finally, I shall make some observations on the reader’s ‘home’ of the text, such as a pathway, paradoxically guided and yet always repeated by the synaesthetic sensations of everyone. Our aim, in this logical progression, would be to highlight the features of a textual vitality, such as an exchange between the body of the book and the impulse created by the reader.
