Vers une poétique de "L'espèce humaine" de Robert Antelme

Lucie Bertrand

"Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement", écrivait Boileau dans son Art poétique. Comment cependant "concevoir bien" une situation si monstrueusement hors du commun que l'enfer des camps de concentration ? Au problème pour le moins épineux de la création de l'écrit concentrationnaire s'ajoute celui de la réception. La plupart de ceux qui ont connu les camps sont morts : c'est à un public essentiellement constitué de néophytes que le rescapé s'adresse. "Ce qui est inconcevable peut s'exprimer clairement", c'est ce que nous apprend L'espèce humaine. Encore faut-il, pour le comprendre, concevoir que "clairement" renvoie moins à une clarté textuelle qu'à une écriture éclairante.
