Abstract

enThe aim of this dissertation is to establish the relational poetics of the living in connection with wonder in Belinda Cannone's work. Our study focuses on a limited corpus of three works: S'émerveiller, Un chêne, La Forme du monde. To answer our research question - How does Belinda Cannone think about the living through wonder? - the comparative approach is based on three complementary lines of enquiry, to which the three main chapters correspond: a phenomenologically oriented reading; an ecopoetic reading; and a reading oriented towards the aesthetics of reception. The first chapter explores the link with the materiality of the world and the objects of wonder. On the other, it raises the question of the existence of a phenomenological form of writing to translate a way of thinking about the sensible. The second chapter reveals a device of intensity present in Cannon's prose. This intensive regime manifests wonder as an attentional practice anchored in the here and now. This section also examines the emotional experience of human relationships, and then looks at the spiritual dimensions of the texts studied. Finally, the third chapter raises the question of the representation of wonder. It analyses the tension between the imaginary and the factual within the corpus through the intermediary relationship between writing and photography. At the end of this process, we will have demonstrated the existence of a continuum in Cannonian thought, placing humanity in the continuity of the forces of life through the bond of wonder.
