Abstract

This dissertation proposes a study on the writing of the neutral in Maurice Blanchot. We start with the proposition of a possible poetic of the neutral. In chapter one, we approach the neutral by its relationship with the dehors from Madness and Civilization (Foucault, 1961) and the reading of this work done by Pelbart (1989). The concern is to contextualize the neutral and bring it in relation to the demands of the "cruel poetic reason", addressed by Blanchot (1969) from reading Artaud. Then, in chapter three, with the support of Dubreuil (2003), we will base the analysis of two texts - Thomas L'Obscur (Blanchot, 1950) and "Letter to the clairvoyant" (Artaud, 1929) - in connection with the idea of possession, as this finds room in their conceptions of poetic creation. The objective is, after approaching Artaud and Blanchot, place them where their writing is different, even though departing from similar issues. This done, we become able to claim, with the aid of the myth of mermaids, the writing of the neutral as the articulation of a "dramatic meta-language" that allows Blanchot to perform his own thinking on a temporary ground by availing the mythical thought structures (AU)
