Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This multidisciplinary article shows how reading creates spaces, based on Pierre Bergounioux's short narrative 'La voix du bois', where the narrator recalls his first reading as an 'event' that dislocated his reality. First, a literary analysis of this text identifies three types of spatial configurations between fiction and reality: through ubiquity (Rosolato), contact points (Freud) and extimacy (Lacan). Second, multiple losses in the text are examined by a metapsychological analysis of reading based on a re-reading of Freud's text on the Wunderblock (the periodical inexcitability of the perceptive system would not only contributes to form time representations but also space representations), and on a highlight of the drives at stake in reading, which rely on a quest of lost objects (gaze and voice). A third part of the article connects the three spatial configurations with three types of objects present in the act of reading: the read object necessitates a represented and stable geometrical space, the lost object holes representation and de-stablises space (Schilder), das Ding engages a beyond of representation, dislocating temporarily every representable space and causing an event.
