Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: Jean Potocki’s work translates a conflict between two perspectives of the world: aimless wandering and the search for meaning. Using wandering as its interpretive key, this book shows how self-reflection in Potocki’s novel is the departure point for anthropological reflection, as a means to explore certain philosophical questions such as the role played by narration and fiction in the construction of identity. French description: L’oeuvre de Jean Potocki traduit un conflit entre deux perspectives du monde, lesquelles, a un niveau esthetique et metaphorique, repondent a deux formes de mouvement: errare et iterare, l’errance sinueuse et sans but, et la quete de sens, interminable et utopique. Les motifs d’errance du Manuscrit trouve a Saragosse rejoignent sa forme narrative, remarquablement complexe et errante, pour ensemble creer l’image d’un monde fondamentalement instable. Utilisant l’errance comme clef d’interpretation, ce livre montre comment l’autoreflexivite du roman potockien, loin de tourner a vide, est le point de depart d’une fine reflexion anthropologique: le texte romanesque est traite de machine discursive permettant de penser certaines questions philosophiques, comme le role joue par la narration et par la fiction dans la construction de l’identite, et les impasses hermeneutiques vecues par l’homme dans un monde o- le sens se deplace sans cesse.
