| book description |

Jeux de mots célèbre le pouvoir créateur des jeux de langage dans la littérature de Rabelais à nos jours. Calembour, mot-valise, bon mot, néologisme, mot-fétiche : ce volume collectif s’attache au jeu de mots littéraire dans des domaines aussi variés que l’onomastique littéraire et l’écriture à contraintes, aussi bien dans la prose que dans la poésie. Les études de spécialistes ici réunies montrent comment, de Rabelais à Richard Millet en passant par Roussel et Roubaud et de Mallarmé à Fargue en passant par Apollinaire et le ‘nonsense verse’, la prose et la poésie explorent la productivité des mots, leur pouvoir de métamorphose et leur aptitude à faire infiniment glisser le sens. Le volume se termine par une ouverture sur le jeu de mots en philosophie et au cinéma. Jeux de mots celebrates the creative power of wordplay from Rabelais to present times. Puns, portmanteaus, ‘bon mots’, neologisms, fetish-words: this collective volume focuses on literary wordplay in very different fields such as literary onomastics and constrained writing, both in prose and in poetry. Specialists in the field show how, from Rabelais to Richard Millet through Roussel and Roubaud and from Mallarmé to Fargue through Apollinaire and ‘nonsense verse’, prose and poetry explore the productivity of words, their power of metamorphosis and their capacity to make meaning shift. The volume ends with a section on wordplay in philosophy and the cinema.
