Sommario/riassunto |

Antoine Volodine conte avec une puissance narrative et un rapport singulier à l'Histoire qui ne font plus mystère. Mais de sa langue, qui n’a jamais bénéficié d’une étude ample, on sait très peu. C’est à combler ce vide que s’emploie cet ouvrage, littéraire avant tout. Mettant au jour l’inventivité et la richesse propres à la langue post-exotique – volontiers polymorphe et particulièrement hospitalière – il en déploie les usages pluriels. De façonnages langagiers il sera donc question, à foison, ainsi que d’hybridité, dans une version internationale qui n’est pas sans faire écho à Babel. Seront aussi questionnés l’objet et l’enjeu de ces forgeries qui troublent la koinè. Car c’est en contrebande, nonobstant la participation active du lecteur, que la langue volodinienne s’écrit, efficace au point d’affoler notre boussole ordinaire des langues. Invitant à repenser le rapport à l’autre dans le dire sexuel, les dictatures linguistiques et la glottophagie, elle est tout sauf inactuelle. Antoine Volodine relates with both a narrative power and a singular |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In July 1943, the Gestapo arrested an obscure member of the resistance movement in Nazi-occupied Belgium. When his torture-inflicting interrogators determined he was no use to them and that he was a Jew, he was deported to Auschwitz. Liberated in 1945, Jean Améry went on to write a series of essays about his experience. No reflections on torture are more compelling. Améry declared that the victims of torture lose trust in the world at the "very first blow." The contributors to this volume use their expertise in Holocaust studies to reflect on ethical, religious, and legal aspects of torture then and now. Their inquiry grapples with the euphemistic language often used to disguise torture and with the question of whether torture ever constitutes a "necessary evil." Differences of opinion reverberate, raising deeper questions: Can trust be restored? What steps can we as individuals and as a society take to move closer to a world in which torture is unthinkable? |
