Hélène Cixous

(Université Paris VIII)

"Ay yay! The Cry of Literature"

“There must be hundreds of murmuring volumes on the soul’s shelves in order to obtain, by condensation and displacement, quintessential words. Inexhaustible alchemy. In 1907, Sophocles’ atoms return to be sprinkled on one of Proust’s notebooks.

How does this transmigration function?

At the beginning of the beginning, there was the first note of our pain, and it rose from the diaphragm to the sky, like this:

AY YAY!”

Hélène Cixous

A workshop with Hélène Cixous entitled Writing – Reading – Translating Sexual Differences will take place one day after the Hegel Lecture.
