Document Details : Title: Vers un espace d'espèce Subtitle: Relations spatiales et temporalités dans l'œuvre et la pratique de Fernand Deligny Author(s): DUBREU, Alexandre Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 86 Issue: 4 Date: 2024 Pages: 619-641 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.86.4.3294483 Abstract : Fernand Deligny’s practice and writings explore the notion of space in a unique way. This practice allowed Deligny to think of places outside language by removing maladjusted children from institutions and places designed to accommodate them. These places constitute spaces in which coexistence is possible on the basis of the specificity of the species rather than the subject. Reading Deligny’s writings, it is possible to lift the veil on what language does to space. It is also possible to show how spatial indeterminacy is a source of initiative. But this indeterminacy should not be understood as an absence of regularities. Spatial indeterminacy brings to the surface gestures and movements that are specific to the human species. It dissolves the subject in the places it crosses, denouncing human pretensions: language and power. |
