Qu'est-ce Qu'une Archive? (Beckett, Foucault)
View through CrossRef
Beckett's references to Michel Foucault invite us to ask questions about the interferences that may exist between the two works. Starting from what Foucault calls "la pensée du dehors" we are going to examine their common exploration of a paradoxical space that signifies for Foucault an outward place where the speaking subject disappears (where he is melting away in the anonymous writing of the archive) and that is for Beckett – in for instance – the experimental space of strange interior exteriorities that his last texts point out.
