Tämänkin tyypin ajatteluun haluaisi tutustua, mutta ei ole tullut vielä. Nyt luen blogista, että käännöksiä ranskasta englantiin ei edes kovin paljon ole, ja sehän tietää että tie nousee pystyyn. Nämä sanat herättivät tällä kertaa kiinnostuksen: "Another prize-winning collection was Voyageurs de la voix (Voyagers of the Voice), 1986, which, as the title suggests, relates to Meschonnic’s conviction that epic, with its close etymological connexion to voice, is present in all genuine poetry as its fundamental historicity; and which also suggests the fundamental relation of the subject in the poem to history and to society in an ongoing adventure into the unknown. Indeed his general critique of all European poetry in the last 150 years is partly what he considers to be its bias towards the lyrical, a tendency he traces to the Romantic confusion of the subject with the individual." Meschonnic Henri (1932-2009)
