« Méréomorphisme » et intertextualité dans La Route des Flandres : la description de la femme-centaure

Abstract

In this paper we propose a detailed analysis of a quotation fragment inserted in The Flanders Road, the famous description of the centauress. This description functions as a mise en abyme : it reproduces « in miniature » the near total of the novel’s structure, and highlights the main characteristics of Simonian poetics. Therefore, its study shows that Simon’s writing has a holistic dimension, closely linked to a constant entanglement of local and global features.
