Interroger la langue, dépister la maladie : écriture et médecine chez Lorand Gaspar
Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2014, Vol 38, Issue 38
Abstract
Poet-medical doctor Lorand Gaspar cares about the good functioning of an organism, and language―an organism in its own right―lends itself to a process of investigation, much the same as does a diagnosis. It is in the poem “Clinique” (from Égée Judée, 1980) that the poet, while combing through the history of medicine, succeeds in uncovering procedures, impulses, and manners of expression that make clearer the links between the act of diagnosing and that of writing. For both activities, returning to the sources proves to be of utmost importance.
