Écritures réenchantées par la pollution : Éric Reinhardt et Antoine Volodine

This study aims to identify and analyze closely the different literary forms that "waste" can assume in a context sensitive to the problems of the environment and its redevelopment. Far from being accessory elements, these tools - intended both for dispossession and putrefaction - call into question the physiognomy of living things and - paradoxically - render their value. How is their treatment written and re-enchants the world? Eric Reinhardt's L’amour et les forêts (Gallimard, 2014), Antoine Volodine's Terminus radieux (Seuil, 2014) by as well as Herbes et golems (L'Olivier, 2012) - a work that Volodine himself has published under the pseudonym of Manuela Draeger - allow us to grasp the scriptural role of these vile things and also to question the resources of the non-human through the presence of the plant. Struggling with Reinhardt's contemplation of decomposition and with the strengths of the radiation effect in the post-apocalyptic universe of Volodin, this detour in green is seen as an indicator of the paradoxical benefits of pollution; by overturning any ethical and political point of view of ecologisms, this phenomenon thus joins the literary dimension of a material ecstasy capable of breathing new life into a living in danger and of re-enchanting it by resorting to a vegetal feeling which opposes the lightness of the 'essential to the heaviness of excess and its rotting effects.
