O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa é tratar de alguns aspectos do processo de elaboração de Orion, personagem principal do livro Lenfant Bleu de Henry Bauchau. A pesquisa pretende mostrar os mecanismos empregados pelo autor para compor um personagem de ficção a partir de um material vivido, mas que não se confunde com esse material. Para tanto, a análise partirá de alguns ditados do próprio Lionel (paciente de Bauchau, psicanalista, que inspira a criação do personagem Orion) e buscará retraçar aspectos do caminho que parte do documento de trabalho psicoterapêutico e chega ao romance publicado em 2004 na Bélgica. A ideia é comparar ditados de Lionel (arquivados no Fonds Henry Bauchau) com os ditados de angústia de Orion presentes no livro Lenfant bleu, levando em conta as reescrituras e rasuras presentes nas várias versões do livro escritas por Bauchau que se encontram disponíveis nos Arquivos e Museu da Literatura da Biblioteca Real da Bélgica. Ao mesmo tempo, pretende-se analisar também os ditados de Orion criados por Bauchau sem inspiração imediata em textos de Lionel. Nos dois casos a pesquisa pretende dar especial atenção ao processo de criação da linguagem do personagem Orion, pois entendemos que a linguagem tem importância central na construção do personagem em questão. Neste percurso, debateremos questões como: Estrutura geral da obra e planos de trabalho; Biografia e Ficção, Linguagem e Paranoia. / The main purpose on this research is to deal with some aspects that come up along the drawing of the character Orion, the main character of Henry Bauchau\'s L\'Enfant Bleu. This research aims to shed light on the mechanisms used by the author to make a fictional character up from a living source, without, nevertheless, mixing it up with that source. From then on, the analysis will follow the dictations of Lionel - Bauchau Psychoanalyst\'s patient, who has inspired the character Orion - and will retrace its steps, from the document of psychotherapeutical work which leads into the novel published in 2004, in Belgium. This work is about comparing some dictations of Lionel (shelved at Fonds Henry Bauchau) with Orion\'s \"dictations of anguish\", counting rescriptures and erasures in the several versions of the book. They are available at the Archives and Museum of Literature of the Royal Library of Belgium. Also, we will analyze the dictations of Orion created by Bauchau without immediate inspiration from Lionel texts. In both cases the research intends to give special attention to the process of creating the language of Orion character, because we understand that language is central in building the character in question. Therefore, we will discuss issues such as: general structure of the work and work plans; Biography and Fiction, Language and Paranoia.

La question récurrente de l'altérité dans l'oeuvre d'Henry Bauchau (1913-2012) constitue le thème central de cette recherche. Le corpus est principalement constitué des deux romans La Déchirure (1965) et Oedipe sur la route (1990), où des figures narratives semblables reviennent, inspirées tantôt par la vie personnelle de l'écrivain et tantôt par ses expériences de rêveur fécond. La figure d'autrui renvoie d'abord à la famille, et en particulier à la mère absente. Celle-ci revient dans les romans, notamment sous les traits d'une mère idéalisée, mais aussi pour rappeler la distance qui existe entre l'enfant et la mère. Un autre aspect de l'altérité, l'autre, est d'abord une figure intérieure au sujet. Chez Bauchau, qui a aussi une pratique d'analyste et de peintre, l'exploration de cette altérité est souvent confiée à l'inconscient et à son expression dans l'art et le poème. Elle est aussi confiée tantôt à l'imagination mythique, tantôt à la réalité du corps charnel. De cette façon, l'écrivain fait aussi appel à la dimension psychologique et psychanalytique de l'écriture. C'est grâce à cette dernière que certains personnages mythiques comme Oedipe, parcourant comme l'écrivain lui-même un long chemin d'errance, arrivent à trouver leur identité profonde. Le renouvellement des grands mythes, adaptés aux nécessités du temps présent, constitue ainsi l'autre versant de l'écriture bauchalienne. / The raster question of otherness in the work of Henry Bauchau (1913-2012) is the focus of this research. The corpus consists primarily of two novels, La Déchirure (1965) and Oedipe sur la route (1990), where similar narrative figures are recurring, sometimes inspired by the life of the writer and sometimes by his experiences of fruitful dreamer. The figure of other (autrui) first refers to the family, especially the absent mother. It returns in the novels, especially under the aspects of an idealized mother, but also to remind the distance between the child and the mother. Another aspect of otherness, the other, is primarily an inner figure to the subject. According to Bauchau, who also has a practice of analyst and painter, exploring this otherness is often left to the unconscious and its expression in art and poetry. It's sometimes entrusted to the mythic imagination, or the reality of the physical body. In this way, the writer also uses the psychological and psychoanalytic dimension of writing. It is through the latter that some mythical characters like Oedipus, travelling as the writer himself a long way of aimless errancy, is able to find or to build their own identity. The renewal of great myths, adapted to the needs of the present, is the other side of Bauchau's writing.

L'objectif de la thèse est de comprendre les formes et les enjeux d'un imaginaire extrême-oriental au cœur de certaines œuvres de la poésie française d'après 1945 comme celles d'Henry Bauchau (né en 1913), Christian Dotremont (né en 1922) et Yves Bonnefoy (né en 1923). En particulier, cet imaginaire invite à considérer la création en « acte », en ce sens qu'il qualifie la dimension du faire dans la création poétique, comme il le fait par ailleurs dans les arts martiaux. L'enjeu de cette étude sera de comprendre la singularité de ces œuvres majeures de la production poétique française contemporaine, marquées par la culture extrême-orientale, en regard de la pensée de la création comme geste et comme présence, telle qu'un art martial oriental les met en œuvre en son propre lieu. À cet effet, l'approche des œuvres fera intervenir un outillage théorique pluridisciplinaire, dont la phénoménologie développée par Michel Henry, laquelle permettra de renouveler certains concepts de la critique littéraire et de valoriser ce qui demeure le plus souvent impensé sur le plan théorique : la dimension affective de l'écriture et de la lecture. En particulier, on observera les vertus guerrières et guérisseuses liées à l'écriture, la question du geste scripteur et la dimension spirituelle qui lui est attachée. Plus profondément, ces différentes approches éclaireront les enjeux de la création comme processus induisant un mieux-être du sujet tant créateur que récepteur. / The objective of the thesis is to understand the forms and issues of a far-eastern imaginary that characterizes some works of French poets after 1945, like Henry Bauchau (born in 1913), Christian Dotremont (born in 1922) and Yves Bonnefoy (born in 1923). This imaginary allows considering creation as a “performance” and qualifies the dimension of making in poetic creation, what we can also observe in martial arts. The issue of this study is to understand how the far-eastern culture leaves its mark in these major works of contemporary French poetic production. The aim is precisely to enlighten their singularity from a perspective about creation as gesture and presence on, like an oriental martial art implements them in its own exercise. For that purpose, we will use multi-field theoretical tools, including the phenomenology developed by Michel Henry. This approach will renew some concepts of literary criticism and highlight what is often undeveloped in theory: the affective dimension of writing and reading. In particular, we shall observe warlike and healing virtues of writing, the question of the scriptwriting gesture and the spiritual dimension attached to it. More deeply, these approaches will enlighten creation as a process inducing a well-being for the creator as for the receiver.

Cette recherche propose une interprétation d’un corpus centré sur le roman Œdipe sur la route d’Henry Bauchau, mais en faisant référence aussi aux autres œuvres du cycle œdipien et aux journaux de l’écrivain. C’est un travail qui opère à un double niveau, celui d’un projet ontologique des personnages errants en quête d’identité, et celui des stratégies d’écriture. La première partie de cette étude, munie méthodologiquement des travaux théoriques sur le mythe, propose une définition des concepts, des relations du mythe avec la littérature, de l’évolution du mythe œdipien. Au centre de l’ouvrage, à l’aide d’une analyse comparative, argumentative, herméneutique et stylistique, nous nous concentrons sur le roman de Bauchau, Œdipe sur la route. Nous analysons les rêves d’Œdipe et de l’écrivain, la route de Thèbes à Colone, la transformation d’un roi déchu, incestueux et aveugle à un aède, un artiste, un héros tutélaire d’Athènes, les symboles, les personnages principaux œdipiens et la vision des Roumains sur le mythe d’Œdipe. La dernière partie analyse l’écriture de Bauchau : la polyphonie, l’anachronie, la mise en abîme, l’intergénéricité, le statut des personnages, la dimension onirique, tout cela dans la lumière de l’intertexte et du palimpseste en tant que modèle herméneutique. Donc, l’originalité de l’écriture bauchautienne est qu’au centre des récits surajoutés, se poursuit le récit mythique avec des parties composantes passées, réelles ou recomposées, au profit d’expériences nouvelles, d’un regard nouveau porté sur l’homme.Mots clés : Henry Bauchau, Œdipe, mythe, symbole, identité, errance, route, catharsis, intertextualité, écriture, rêve. / This research paper proposes a study of a corpus focused on the novel Œdipe sur la route by Henry Bauchau, but also referring to other works of the œdipal cycle and to the writer’s diaries. It is a study which operates on a double level that of an ontological project of the wandering characters in search for identity, for purification and that of writing strategies. The first part of this study, based methodologically on the theoretical works on myth, suggests a definition of concepts, of the relations of myth with literature, of the evolution of œdipal myth. In the centre of our work, with a comparative, argumentative, hermeneutical and stylistic analysis, we focus on Bauchau’s novel, Œdipe sur la route. We analyze Œdipus and the writer’s dreams, the road between Thebes and Colonos, the transformation from an incestuous, murderer and blind king to a bard, an artist, a tutelary hero of Athens, the main symbols and characters in the œdipal cycle and we present the Romanians’ point of view on Œdipus’ myth. The final part analyzes Bauchau’s writing: the polyphony, the anachrony, the mise en abîme technique, the intergenericity, the status of characters, the dream dimension. Everything converges to a poetics of oscillation, of doubt, of wandering. These are emphasized by an analysis in the light of inter-text and palimpsest as a hermeneutical model. Thus, the originality of Bauchau’s writing is that in the centre of added stories, Sophocles’s mythic story continues with past, real or recomposed parts, for the benefit of new experiences, of a new vision on man.Keywords: Henry Bauchau, Œdipus, myth, symbol, identity, wandering, road, catharsis, intertextuality, writing, dream.
