Résumé

Le Dépeupleur est un texte central sur la question du sexe. Son acmé poétique se situe dans les calmes déserts de la vaincue. L’ objet de ce travail est la mise en perspective de la qualité que revêt le Nord du sexe pour Beckett, le ferment qu’ il constitue pour sa poétique. L’ accent est mis sur l’ objet vide et sur “La femme qui n’ existe pas”, et ce pire donne le cap du dire poétique. Nous y étudierons le voisinage avec ce que Lacan nomme “non-rapport sexuel”.

Abstract

The Lost Ones is a central text on the question of sex. Its poetic climax is located in “those calm wastes” of the “vanquished” woman. This paper aims to put into perspective the quality that the North of sex has for Beckett, the ferment that it constitutes for his poetics. The focus is on the empty object and on “the woman who does not exist”, the worst that orients poetic enunciation. The affinity between Beckett’s approach to sex and what Lacan calls “non-sexual rapport” will be studied.
