C’est la genèse du premier projet d’écriture des Libres Assiégés de Dionysios Solomos qui constitue le sujet de cette thèse. Il s’agit d’un texte inachevé, dont la réception est, en tant que telle, exclusivement issue d’éditions posthumes. La thèse est divisée en trois parties : dans la première nous entreprenons un examen critique des plus influentes éditions posthumes de l’œuvre de Solomos, en mettant l’accent sur leur incapacité à rendre compte des processus de la genèse. Nous y entreprenons, d’autre part, de déplacer l’examen de la genèse du champ de la philologie, laquelle donne la primauté au texte, au champ de la critique génétique, laquelle donne la primauté à l’avant-texte. Dans la deuxième partie, nous essayons de constituer et de lire l’avant-texte, ce qui nécessite un nouveau classement chronologique des feuillets à l’intérieur du dossier et une nouvelle transcription des manuscrits, classés à part dans un deuxième volume de format A3. Dans la troisième partie, nous faisons une tentative de lecture et d’interprétation de la genèse, tout en nous concentrant sur le problème de la compréhension des tracés et la reconstruction relative de la spatio-temporalité de l’écriture dans la genèse des Libres Assiégés. / The genesis of the first writing project of Dionysios Solomos’ The Free Besieged, a text in an unfinished state, the perception of which resides exclusively on its posthumous editions, constitutes the subject of this thesis. The thesis is divided in three parts: in the first one we attempt a critical survey of the most influential posthumous editions; these fail, in our view, to take into consideration the writing process of the poem, and we propose a different approach, that of the genetic criticism, which in contrast with philology, whose field of interest is the text, focus on the pre-text. In the second part we attempt a reading of the pre-text; for the needs of this task we proceed to a new chronological classification of the manuscripts and a new diplomatic transcription (Vol. II). In the third part we attempt a reading and an interpretation of the writing process, focussing on the problem of understanding and reconstructing the spatio-temporality of writing in the genesis of the Free Besieged.

The present essay concerns Walter Benjamin´s engagement with the concept of critique in four of his early writings from 1916-1928. It revolves around three main themes, or objects of interest: the critique of language [Sprache], the critique of the work [das Werk] and the critique of history [Geschichte]. The main objective of this study is to show how we can understand Benjamin’s conception of critique and how he develops it in regard to language, the work and history. The essay argues that this is a vital part to understand his philosophy in general as well as his later philosophy of history in particular. This study attempts to examine each of its objects, above mentioned, in itself but also show how these cannot be thought of as separate from each other. Benjamin’s concept of critique should not be thought of as systematic (as in erecting a philosophical system), but should instead be regarded as extremely consistent in its approach regardless of his objects of study. Because everything, for Benjamin, is seen as closely tied together. This study therefore attempts to configure a notion that Benjamin’s philosophical oeuvre should be understood as, in many ways, rooted in respect to his concept of critique. I argue that a thorough investigation of Benjamins concept of critique is the key to grasp his specific and uncompromising approach to philosophy. In this respect the study also tries to break with a certain, already established, notion that regards Benjamin as either a marxist or a messianic thinker. This essay instead tries to develop an approach in which everything, every single fragment, possibly can come together as a whole, even though it may only be as pieces of a fractured whole. At last, I therefore argue that, the possibility of the piecing together of this whole, to make whole of what has been scattered, should be considered in relation to Benjamin’s concept of critique, here explicated and developed, in regard to the above mentioned objects: language, the work and history.
