Ce mémoire fait une exploration textuelle et théorique des œuvres de Pascale Petit, une poète française contemporaine dont la poésie crée des mondes fantaisistes qui brouillent les lignes entre la réalité et la fiction. Alors que certains de ses poèmes ont été recensés en revue, son œuvre plus large attend toujours l'analyse. Ce mémoire fait donc un premier effort à l'analyse de onze de ses poèmes, vers les buts d'évaluer le style poétique de Petit, de comprendre son approche à la poésie et de la situer parmi ses collègues contemporains. La discussion commence avec un aperçu sur les tendances actuelles dans la poésie française contemporaine, surtout par rapport au style de Petit. Elle continue avec une investigation de la performativité et du panoptique dans sa poésie, ainsi qu'une évaluation de son lyrisme subtil et les rôles que jouent l'identité et l'intertextualité dans les textes choisis. Au cours de l'étude l'accent est sur la manière dont la Poète développe un rapport avec le lecteur et l'invite à participer activement à créer du sens avec elle à travers ses poèmes. / This thesis engages in a textual and theoretical exploration of the works of Pascale Petit, a contemporary French poet whose poetry creates imaginary worlds that blur the lines between reality and fiction. While some of her poems have been reviewed, her wider work still awaits analysis. This paper is a first effort to study eleven of her poems, toward the goals of evaluating Petit’s poetic style, understanding her approach to poetry and situating her among her contemporary colleagues. The discussion begins with a look at current trends in contemporary French poetry relative to Petit’s style. It continues with an investigation of performativity and panopticism in her poetry, as well as an evaluation of her subtle lyricism and the rôles that identity and intertextuality play in the chosen texts. Throughout the analysis, emphasis is on the way in which Petit develops a relationship with the reader and invites her to participate actively in creating meaning with the Poet through the works. / Master of Arts / This thesis explores the works of Pascale Petit, a contemporary French poet whose poetry creates imaginary worlds that blur the lines between reality and fiction.
