La « porosité » du réel : sur quelques stratégies stylistiques d’André Bucher

Abstract

André Bucher uses certain stylistic devices that aptly suggest the porosity of the world, since humanity, animals and nature are the interdependent protagonists of his novels. Some stylistic constructions evoke this environmental inversion: the personification of nature through extended metaphors or catachresis reproduces the vocabulary of an animal. Nevertheless, by avoiding excessive lyricism, Bucher emphasises that the human scheme of existence is incommensurable with regard to the plane of nature.
