Posture de la prière, écriture de la précarité (, et ……)

Abstract

Samuel Beckett's works describe many postures. One of them is particularly interesting and helps us to analyse some major problems: the praying posture. In Beckett's prose, theatre or TV plays, especially in the last works, we find obsessive, strange or comic invocations which mix spectral figures and body or memory fragments. In and ……, images of prayer are like furtive apparitions. They may also be signs of a paradoxical and ambiguous view on writing.
