Van Ostaijen's Occupied City Text, sound, vision. (French)

Written in Berlin in the Summer of 1920, published in Antwerp in 1921, Occupied City by Paul Van Ostaijen (1896-1927) is an exceptional book, not just in Flemish literature but in European literature altogether. This article deals with a theoretical rereading of the graphic and visual aspects and structures of the book. The starting point of the analysis will be Jean-Gérard Lapacherie's notion of "grammatextuality". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Écrit à Berlin à l'été 1920, puis publié à Anvers en 1921, Ville occupée de Paul Van Ostaijen (1896-1927) est un livre sans pareil, dans la littérature flamande comme dans le contexte européen plus généralement. Dans cet article, on se propose de faire une relecture théorique des aspects graphiques et visuels du livre. Le point de départ de ce travail sera la notion de « grammatextualité » élaborée par Jean-Gérard Lapacherie. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
