Le langage de la sexualité dans l’œuvre romanesque de Garréta : un jeu de profanation du roman

Abstract

Today's world is more and more invaded by the licentious and the crude of the representation of sex. This data constitutes a screen from which Garréta brings into play all the greenness and earthiness of sexual language. It is thus part of a form of parrhesia which aims to be a discourse of truth, a discourse without makeup. This choice covers a desire to clearly state things. Then emerges what we can call "sexualiture", that is to say, a literature giving sex a significant place in violation of the canonical codes of the novel. La Decomposition, Sphinx and Pas un jour are the place where then emerge a form of vulgarity and textual depravity whose ultimate goal is the quest for new scriptural sensibilities. This literary approach brings into play the stability of the canons of literature as a whole. The study therefore intends to examine the modalities of inserting the sexualized material into the narrative text and the links that are woven between a poetics of shamelessness and the insolence of a true telling.
