L’expérimentation du dispositif chez Olivia Rosenthal : Les Larmes hors le livre

The question of the relationship between the subject and art in literature, far from being limited to stakes of a thematic nature, also extens to the way in which the subject is affected by the intersection of writing practices with other artistic practices. This study aims to show how the work done by Olivia Rosenthal around Ils ne sont pour rien dans mes larmes originally connects the two aspects of this issue through the development of experimental devices that lead to an extension of the literary practice beyond the book. This practice is examined here through a comparison of the text Les Larmes with the performance and the film by the same name made in collaboration with Laurent Larivière. These different versions of the literary device not only highlight intermodal artistic practices, but also, by putting the subject in the center of the device, they also point out that the dialogue between these practices has a human interest: the diversification of ways in which the subject may have access to the understanding of others and of himself.
