Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Platon condamnait Homere pour avoir ose parler du “rire inextinguible des dieux”. Au-dela de la reprobation morale de la raillerie, il devait bien avoir percu dans le rire une puissance d’exces capable d’ebranler la serenite du sage. Les modernes, philosophes (Descartes, Schopenhauer, Kant) et – davantage encore – psychanalystes (Freud, Lacan), ont traque dans l’esprit meme les sources de cette puissance transgressive. Mais le rire comme tel leur est reste une enigme. Pourtant, a suivre l’entrecroisement de leurs explications, il est possible d’approcher le mystere de cette voix inarticulee et eclatante qui s’exalte dans le rire et que Nietzsche, Baudelaire et, surtout, Bataille ont reconnu comme la part essentielle de ce que l’homme y joue de son etre meme.
