Abstract

The Writing of disaster is composed of fragments, that are the only possible form to describe it; but what is really meant by “disaster”? There are several possible interpretations: it can be an unfavourable event, such as destruction or consumption, but it can also mean “separation from the star”, a distance from any kind of measure and especially from what we consider our order. How can we name it? Can we think it? This critical work concerns literature, poetry but also philosophy and analyses the experience of the Neuter, the Outside and the Disaster: it is the disaster of thought, of the first-person narrative and of language itself.
