English Summary: Aristotle’s Poetics deals with the composition of a kind of history, history being here considered as a narrative. But for what reason did Aristotle write such a work? And how does that work fit with the rest of the corpus? The present study is an answer to both questions, an answer after which the Poetics stays no longer the same: catharsis disappears from the definition of tragedy; the second book is probably not lost. The author also answers a third question: why should one be interested in Poetics? He offers a renewed reading where he compares Aristotle with modern and contemporary thinkers, but where he also takes sides. The term Diagoge– or “intellectual pastime” – captures the answer to those three questions. French Description: La Poetique porte sur la composition d’un type d’histoire, histoire etant ici une simulation de recit. Mais pour quelle raison Aristote a-t-il ecrit un tel ouvrage? Et comment cet ouvrage s’insere-t-il dans son corpus? Le present travail est une reponse a ces deux questions, une reponse apres laquelle la Poetique n’est plus la meme : la catharsis disparait de la definition de la tragedie; son second livre n’est sans doute pas perdu … L’auteur repond aussi a une troisieme question : pourquoi peut-on encore s’interesser a la Poetique? Il propose ainsi une lecture actualisante, ou non seulement il confronte Aristote avec des penseurs modernes et contemporains, mais ou il prend parti. Le sous-titre, Diagoge – passe-temps intellectuel – ne fait que condenser en un seul mot sa reponse a ces trois questions.
