The poem as a score, the reader as performer: another body in another time

Abstract

It is possible to conceive the poem as a score from different perspectives. In this article, the subject will be inquired from the body - body that writes, body that reads, body that performs the score. The score is a writing that is not yet the work, but the notation that allows a reader to perform the work, and to perform it at a deferred time and a different place from the author. The score exists to allow a work to be performed at a distance from its author. If the poem is a score, it means that it allows or promotes a dynamic between bodies, the nature of which must be understood and described. Describing the structure of this process means to circumscribe a field: after all, conceiving the poem as a score, what is it? And how does the body behave in this dynamics? From Jean-Luc Nancy’s Corpus, in dialogue with Marguerite Duras’s Les Mains Négatives, we sought to discuss the problem of the body that is implied in the dynamics of the reading-writing of the poem.
