Des “Bandeaux d’or” à la postface de “Noces” La “vita nuova” de Pierre Jean Jouve: vers un imaginaire de l’imprésentable?

In 1925, the rupture which appeared in the career of Pierre Jean Jouve led him to divide his work into two sides of which the first is denied. Through an analysis of the literary work, as well as its reflexive comments including the postface of Noces (1928), this article seeks to understand the rupture declared by Pierre Jean Jouve by situating a motif of the impregnable in his work. In this view, we question, in the production written after 1925, the religious vocabulary by assuming that it suggests the presence of an impregnable. Impregnable means the indeterminate: a reality which escapes the imagination, the faculty of the representation. In this perspective, we study opacities which appear in the production of Jouve like signs of an impregnable. Firstly, we see that this takes place in an imaginary of the indeterminate which can identify with formal trouble and mystic and psychanalytic references: two discourses which develop a form of expression of what escapes language. Secondly, we are interested in the denied work of Jouve to repair a motif of an impregnable in a form that the writer will not retain. The goal of this research is to bring to light the modalities of the rupture of Pierre Jean Jouve, considering that such rupture doesn’t attest a conversion to the impregnable but a new way of writing it.
