Abstract
This contribution examines how by staging its protagonist as the voice of a diary, Robert Walser’s novel Jakob von Gunten.

It shows that in doing so, Walser opens the possibility of an aesthetic dedication to the ordinary, and introduces the reader to a world which is less the “prose of the world” (Hegel), but rather the world of prose.
