Voyage en Paulie-Laurencie, essai sur une construction narrative polyphonique

Abstract

An analytical approach to the graphic and textual Latin-American perception of a nineteenth century traveller from Bordeaux in the magazine Le Tour du Monde. It is a trip which is a fusion of both time and space through the distorting eyes of a misanthropic, rebellious and humorous Westerner’s . This trip across oceans interwines history, ethnography and science in general and a strategy which is a hybrid blend of fiction and reality, to generate a curious and exotic piece of poetry. This poetry recalls an eternal revival as well as an endless and infinite bitterness. The writing about reconstituted wandering thus becomes a therapy in the setting of Paul Marcoy “suffering self” untiringly in quest of denied scientific recognition, but still more, his impossible encounter with an ever fleeing ego.
