Perception et mouvement dans la poésie de Gilles Cyr

Abstract

The study addresses the sensory universe of Cyr's poetry through the paradigms of neurophysiology of visual and motor perception and the phenomenology of movement. More specifically, the notions of “visual percepts” and “visuomotor representations” are examined in the text according to the specific singularities of the poetic language of Gilles Cyr, where the relationship of the body with the unknown also occupies a relevant place. Similarly, the distinction between “epistemic vision” and “non-epistemic” is taken into account throughout this study. The analysis takes into account the reflections of lite-rary criticism related to the treatment of space and movement, as well as the epistemolo-gical level of this poetry.
