| description | In his mature literary work, Hylé II, written in German between 1933 and 1958, the former Berlin Dadaist Raoul Hausmann looks back on his years of exile in Ibiza; the article proposes a genetic study of the unfinished self-translation into French of Hylé II. The analysis reconstructs how the self-translation initiated in 1937 evolves soon after into a form of free rewriting, and jeopardises the completion of the German project, before being abandoned around 1945. This failed attempt is to be understood first of all as a crucial stage in Raoul Hausmann’s development as a bilingual writer after the war, when he chose France as his new homeland. The French self-translation must also be examined in relation to the core project of Hylé II, namely the production of a textual form in motion. Reintegrating the self-translation within the original text, in a late phase of its genesis, is one of the many textual strategies used by Hausmann to destabilise the traditional notion of text, a gesture closely akin to the attacks of the historical avant-gardes on the category of work (œuvre) and the institution of art. |
