Abstract

ABSTRACTEquipée. Voyage au pays du Réel stands out in the work of Victor Segalen. A critique of idealism, it is both a poetics of the moving body and its implementation through the encounter with the substance of reality. I demonstrate that this literary experiment is underpinned by a worldview, going back to the materialistic philosophical tradition and drawing its inspiration from the discoveries of early twentieth-century physics. It is a discontinuous and moving fabric that becomes the backdrop to the journey told here. In this context, writing is assigned to representing the fractures, the streaks of reality and the irremediable partition of bodies.
