'Pour garder l'impossible intact' : the poetry of Heather DohollauO'Connor, Clémence January 2009 (has links)
This dissertation offers the first extended study of the work of the Welsh-French poet Heather Dohollau, whose substantial œuvre in French, published since 1974, has recently received international critical recognition. My thesis centres on the idea of traversée, which originates in Dohollau’s experience of exiles, returns and bilingualism. My chapters elucidate five interconnected themes which all relate to that overarching paradigm. Chapter 1 focuses on Dohollau’s trajectories as reflected in poems on the memory of place, concentrating on South Wales and the island. The quest for place is also a quest for the past, which is handled as an after-image capable of upwelling into the present. Chapter 2 investigates the visual-verbal bilingualism towards which Dohollau’s texts on specific artworks (or ekphrastic texts) seem to strive. Dohollau revitalizes the ekphrastic tradition and challenges its conventional connotations of power struggle (W. J. T. Mitchell) in favour of a poetics of hospitality. Chapter 3 is dedicated to Dohollau’s ethos and practice of slowness. It undertakes a close-reading analysis of her syntactic and sound-related rhythms, connecting them with Derrida’s différance. The idea of poetry as a foreign language is discussed in chapter 4: Dohollau’s adoption of French as her main poetic language in the mid-1960s, her handling of motherhood and daughterhood, and her quest for a poetics of mourning and fidelity are examined in their interrelations. The concluding chapter explores the boundaries between language and the unsaid. Dohollau has been uniquely placed to engage with postwar reassessments of language and its limits (Derrida, Heidegger, Blanchot), poised as she is between languages and media. As her poems show, such limits constitute a poetic resource in their own right. Her carefully cultivated liminal stance has given her important insights into the creative process as a passage into words from an unwritten, yet not utterly inchoate other of the poem.

Historisch wird die Arbeit von zwei Daten her begrenzt, von den ersten hör-physiologischen Experimenten seit 1850, und von den massenwirksamen akustischen Inszenierungen der 1930er Jahre in „real auditory perspective“. Die Arbeit beginnt in Kapitel I mit dem tragischen Fall des Regisseurs und langjährigen Psychiatrie-Patienten Antonin Artaud, der die Sprache zugunsten von Lauten, Gebärden und Schreien verlässt. Seine Experimente zum Theater geben zu einer ersten Korrektur von Bildlichkeit Anlass. In Kapitel II wird der Vorrang der Bildlichkeit grundsätzlich in Frage gestellt, die Differenz von Bild und Klang wissenschaftshistorisch auseinandergesetzt, und ein „acoustic turn“ zur Welt vorbereitet. Die Untersuchungen des Physiologen und Akustikers Hermann von Helmholtz sind hier maßgeblich, denn sie beeinflussen die Technische Akustik von ihren Anfängen her. Das Kapitel III schließlich untersucht im transatlantischen Vergleich die technischen Bedingungen nach 1900. Die Beschallungsanlage hat nun die Fähigkeit, alltäglich in den Dienst genommen zu werden, und auch politischen Manipulationen diensthaft zu sein. / Historically the work is framed by two dates, by the physiological experiments of hearing and the mise en scène of a massed and sonic attack in so called „real auditory perspective“ of the 1930s. The first chapter starts with the tragedic and long living psychiatric case Antonin Artaud, who moves away from clarity of sounds to phones, gestures and crying. Such experiments give cause for a fundamental rethinking of meaning in the sense of picture, and leads to the second chapter which argues in more detail for the lap of our sonic understanding of the world. This way speeds up to an „acoutic turn“ by a retour to the biological grounds of sonic perception. The physiological and acoustic inquiries of Hermann von Helmholtz fit here to the ground for him being starting point of what will later be called „technische Akustik“. The third chapter bridges Europe´s early Telefunken-years with the United States and their chief acousticians at the legendary Bell Laboratories, and seeks finally for light in scientific amnesia against progress and control, or what the germans call „Betriebsamkeit“ and „Gestell.“ (Heidegger)
