Apollinaire, quand la poésie inspire la guerre

Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2015, Vol 39, Issue 39

Abstract

For Apollinaire, poetry inspires war. Calligrammes, written at the very heart of the drama, involves a three-dimensional combat. His I acquires three representations that differ in status, process and the ideal defended. The first I is the empirical soldier fighting on behalf of his country in the real world. The second lyrical I is fictitious in order to fight for convulsive emotions made of dreams and frustrations. The third, creative, I of the poet defends an aesthetic that is necessary, in a pioneering spirit, to crystallize it in modern culture. In short, the creative warrior is transmuted into creating war.
