Animated by a profound attention to the stakes of an ecopoetics that puts to the test the notion of space, the work of Jean Rolin engages in approaches that are seemingly documentary but able to bring out authenticity through literary filters. This is the case with Paris in Zone (1995) and La clôture (2002), examples of ‘récits en éc(h)o’ where wildness becomes a controversial apparatus of urbanity. But when the interaction between non-human worlds (mineral, vegetable, animal) takes on American spatial coordinates – as in Savannah (2015) – in expressing the “wastelands” of intimacy in the midst of grief, what is the situation of biomimicry? How does urban wildness reenchant the realm of the living in the face of death?

Abstract
Animated by a profound attention to the stakes of an ecopoetics that puts to the test the notion of space, the work of Jean Rolin engages in approaches that are seemingly documentary but able to bring out authenticity through literary filters. This is the case with Paris in Zone (1995) and La clôture (2002), examples of ‘récits en éc(h)o’ where wildness becomes a controversial apparatus of urbanity. But when the interaction between non-human worlds (mineral, vegetable, animal) takes on American spatial coordinates – as in Savannah (2015) – in expressing the “wastelands” of intimacy in the midst of grief, what is the situation of biomimicry? How does urban wildness reenchant the realm of the living in the face of death?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
