Ces romans sont remarquables non seulement dans la mani\u00e8re dont ils bousculent les conventions li\u00e9es \u00e0 la distinction entre le factuel et le fictif, l\u2019Histoire et la fable, \u00e0 des niveaux aussi bien formels que th\u00e9matiques, mais \u00e9galement en ce qu\u2019ils op\u00e8rent des ruptures dans la mati\u00e8re m\u00eame du texte, incorporant souvent dans un contexte fictionnel des po\u00e8mes, des essais, ou bien, en une occasion, une nouvelle, tous d\u00e9j\u00e0 publi\u00e9s sous le nom de \u00ab Ben Lerner \u00bb. Les romans se pr\u00eatent ainsi \u00e0 des op\u00e9rations de recyclage ou de r\u00e9appropriation qui viennent brouiller les notions habituelles d\u2019autorit\u00e9 et d\u2019identit\u00e9, et briser les cloisons de l\u2019espace de fiction.<\/p>\n<p>De telles tendances traversent toute l\u2019\u0153uvre de Lerner, qui comme on l\u2019a not\u00e9, prend souvent la forme de collaborations avec d\u2019autres \u00e9crivains ou artistes visuels, et met en \u00e9vidence le m\u00e9lange des genres \u00e0 travers diff\u00e9rentes formes d\u2019\u00e9critures. L\u2019auteur ne travaille pas simplement des genres distincts mais force le lecteur \u00e0 consid\u00e9rer \u00e0 nouveaux frais la d\u00e9finition de ces derniers et les objectifs vis\u00e9s par ces d\u00e9finitions.<\/p>\n<p>De m\u00eame, les sp\u00e9culations de l\u2019auteur sur la \u00ab virtualit\u00e9 \u00bb de la po\u00e9sie ont pour but de remettre en question la conception du po\u00e8me comme forme concr\u00e8te, achev\u00e9e ou objet total. Elles \u00e9voquent en cela le \u00ab po\u00e8me s\u00e9riel \u00bb de Jack Spicer ou Robert Duncan, tandis que les dialogues entre prose et po\u00e9sie que tisse l\u2019auteur entre ses \u0153uvres peuvent s\u2019apparenter \u00e0 une forme de <em>prosimetrum<\/em> autobiographique, qui rappelle les grands projets litt\u00e9raires qui virent le jour \u00e0 la fin du XIXe si\u00e8cle et fleurirent avec le modernisme (avec Charles Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, Rainer Maria Rilke, Marcel Proust et Virginia Woolf, parmi d\u2019autres). Parall\u00e8lement, l\u2019\u0153uvre de Lerner met des pr\u00e9occupations d\u2019ordre formel et th\u00e9orique en relation directe avec des questions qui rel\u00e8vent du soci\u00e9tal, de l\u2019amiti\u00e9, et ainsi de constructions concr\u00e8tes de communaut\u00e9s, de formes d\u2019activisme et d\u2019engagement collectif.<\/p>\n<p>Ce colloque a pour ambition de traiter de l\u2019ensemble des \u00e9crits et des entreprises esth\u00e9tiques de Ben Lerner depuis la publication de son premier volume de po\u00e9sie, <em>The Lichtenberg Figures<\/em> (2004).

These novels are not only notable in how they disturb conventional notions regarding the distinction between the \u201cfactual\u201d and the \u201cfictive,\u201d history and fable, on both formal and thematic levels. They additionally rupture generic boundaries in the most material way, often incorporating into fictional contexts poems, essays, prose fragments, or in one instance a short story that have previously been published under the name \u201cBen Lerner,\u201d thereby repurposing and re-using writing in ways which trouble many conceptions of authorship and identity, and breaking apart the closed space of \u201cfiction\u201d as such.<\/p>\n<p>Similar tendencies can be seen throughout Lerner\u2019s work, which, as noted, often takes the form of collaboration with other writers or visual artists, and foregrounds the inclusion of generically different forms of writing, or visual art in collision with text. Lerner does not only work in <em>different<\/em> genres, he forces us to rethink the manners in which genres are defined, and the purposes these definitions serve.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, his speculations on poetry as \u201cvirtual\u201d aim to trouble the conception of the poem as a discrete, finished, and total object in a manner that looks back to the \u201cserial poem\u201d of Jack Spicer or Robert Duncan, while the interwoven dialogues between poetry and prose he has established between his works can even be seen to constitute a kind of serial, autobiographical prosimetrum, in a manner which might recall the ambitious life projects that emerged in the late 19th century and flourished with modernism (with Baudelaire, Benjamin, Rilke, Proust, and Woolf among others). At the same time, Lerner\u2019s work regularly insists on the direct relation of what could seem to be formal or theoretical questions to sociality, friendship and therefore concrete constructions of community, and forms of activism or collective engagement.<\/p>\n<p>This conference will address the full scope of Lerner\u2019s writing and aesthetic endeavors since the publication of his first volume of poetry, <em>The Lichtenberg Figures<\/em> (2004), so as to better observe the circulation between the different art forms as well the reflections they generate on creation in the contemporary world.<\/p>\n<p>Possible topics include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intertextuality, influences<\/li>\n<li>Intermediality and generic porosity<\/li>\n<li>Literature and visual arts<\/li>\n<li>Relations between the fiction and the essays, between the fiction and the poetry<\/li>\n<li>Modern and contemporary poetics<\/li>\n<li>Serial poetry, poetic sequences<\/li>\n<li>Community, at once social, political, and artistic<\/li>\n<li>Commodification and exchange<\/li>\n<li>Rhetoric, persuasion, and political discourse<\/li>\n<li>Originality and translation<\/li>\n<li>Kinship, the family, and social reproduction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Proposals in English of about 300 words as well as a short biography should be emailed by November 5th at benlernerparisconference2023 with \u201cBen Lerner Conference Proposal\u201d as a subject heading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-Graduate workshop <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conference will also feature a workshop for post-graduate and doctoral students working on Lerner, or topics related to 21st century with a clear link to Lerner\u2019s concerns (see above-listed topics).
