By investigating the discursive rules of hermeneutics and diagnosis, this study seeks to problematize particular presuppositions—most notably the presupposition of sense—of the modern disciplinary hermeneutic context. Following Barthes's consideration of the Greek modus of the middle voice as a useful notion in conceptualizing the modern scene of writing, the study advances itself toward conceptualizing a configuration of the modern reading scene in its middle-voiced permutation. In such a scene, the moment a reading attempts to read itself from without its parameters, it arrives at a spatial and temporal crisis (from the Greek krin-ein; to decide) between its action and the place (of not sense and not not sense) which exceeds the parameters delimiting the action of reading itself, but which nevertheless conditions its possibility. The grammar of this crisis is the middle voice; its condition, in the context of this study, is configured as madness. Madness is thus configured as a function of interrogation, reading and diagnosis. At the nucleus of the modem reading scene itself, this thesis opens with an introduction of the terms middle voice, crisis and madness, and then offers a consideration of three permutations of reading: Chapter Two, Chapter Three and the space between. Chapter Two considers a fictional representation of writing in the middle voice through a reading of Nabokov's Lolita, a text of fiction in the form of a "mad writer's" diary, whose historical reception has been marked by acts of appropriative censorship and clinical diagnosis. Chapter Three considers a permutation of the middlevoiced reading through a reading of Gertrude Stein's lectures on writing. This consideration is framed by fragments from the writing of Maurice Blanchot, connecting reading (as conceived by Stein) to madness, figuring the convergence of reading and madness in writing. The Interchapter, between chapters Two and Three, is an aporetic space entitled "Madness Itself." By allowing a brief and partial view of the modem clinical psychiatric setting, and by calling into question the parameters of the surrounding "chapters" themselves, this section seeks to perform, structurally and thematically, a moment of crisis recalling the middle voice.

A valorização da escritura em detrimento do Humanismo e da História, ambos detentores de um saber teleológico, permite-nos hoje percebê-la por si e numa busca de si. Em nossa contemporaneidade, a noção de unidade não permanece em sua essência primária, o que nos permite pensar na idéia de fragmentação. Tencionamos apresentar uma leitura da poética de Herberto Helder atentando para as figurações da imagem do corpo e mostrar a relação entre criação literária, origem da voz poética e corporificação/fragmentação do discurso. Dedicaremos ainda parte de nossos escritos a elaborar uma reflexão sobre a leitura de poesia e sobre a situação da linguagem poética a partir de críticos pós-estruturalistas, mas sempre pensando o texto literário de Herberto Helder. Concentrar-nos-emos em alguns poemas da edição brasileira de Ou o poema contínuo. Fundamentamo-nos em concepções teórico-filosóficas de Maurice Blanchot, nas obras L’espace littéraire, La part du feu, L’entretien infini et Le livre à venir, por exemplo, e ainda levamos em conta leituras de Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Antoine Compagnon, Jacques Rancière e Leyla Perrone-Moisés.

Ter Sido – a partir do pensamento do filósofo-teórico Maurice Blanchot sobre literatura, como, por exemplo: a fragmentação do discurso, a instabilidade da narrativa, a errância dos personagens, a não-verdade e o não-poder, decorrentes da impossibilidade da morte no texto literário. A ideia de literatura presente nesta dissertação refere-se à ideia de literatura como autossuficiente, uma literatura que se basta, que não precisa da relação mundo real – literatura – mundo real para existir. Desse modo, não fazemos nenhuma relação das obras hilstianas com a contemporaneidade em que foram publicadas, nem com a contemporaneidade atual desta dissertação. Ao abdicarmos do mundo prático em favor do mundo literário, pretendemos observar a arquitetura de escombros da linguagem hilstiana sem as implicações de fatores extraliterários, o que nos proporciona uma investigação mais depurada do texto literário.

Começamos com a proposição do que seria uma possível poética do neutro, na introdução. No capítulo um, abordamos o neutro em sua relação com o dehors, a partir da História da loucura (1961) de Foucault e da leitura desta obra feita por Pélbart (1989). A preocupação é contextualizar o neutro para, no capítulo seguinte, trazê-lo em relação com as exigências da "cruel razão poética", abordada por Blanchot (1969) a partir da leitura de Artaud, aproximando as poéticas desses dois autores. Em seguida, no capítulo três, com o apoio de Dubreuil (2003), partiremos da análise de dois textos ¿ Thomas L'Obscur de Blanchot e "Carta à vidente" de Artaud ¿ a propósito da ideia de possessão, tal como esta encontra espaço em suas concepções sobre a criação poética. O objetivo é, depois de aproximar Artaud e Blanchot, situar onde a escrita deles é diferente, muito embora partam de questões semelhantes. Isto feito, tornamo-nos capazes de afirmar, com o auxílio do mito das sereias, a escrita do neutro como a articulação de uma "metalinguagem dramática" que permite a Blanchot, ao aproveitar-se das estruturas do pensamento mítico, realizar seu pensamento em um terreno provisório / Abstract: This dissertation proposes a study on the writing of the neutral in Maurice Blanchot. We start with the proposition of a possible poetic of the neutral. In chapter one, we approach the neutral by its relationship with the dehors from Madness and Civilization (Foucault, 1961) and the reading of this work done by Pelbart (1989). The concern is to contextualize the neutral and bring it in relation to the demands of the "cruel poetic reason", addressed by Blanchot (1969) from reading Artaud. Then, in chapter three, with the support of Dubreuil (2003), we will base the analysis of two texts - Thomas L'Obscur (Blanchot, 1950) and "Letter to the clairvoyant" (Artaud, 1929) - in connection with the idea of possession, as this finds room in their conceptions of poetic creation. The objective is, after approaching Artaud and Blanchot, place them where their writing is different, even though departing from similar issues. This done, we become able to claim, with the aid of the myth of mermaids, the writing of the neutral as the articulation of a "dramatic meta-language" that allows Blanchot to perform his own thinking on a temporary ground by availing the mythical thought structures / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária
