| Summary: | This article is devoted to the poetics of wastelands, transitory, provisional, porous, and dynamic places of travel, with no deliberate function, yet which have affinities with utopia. Their borders are systematically transformed and, with the help of typical examples from contemporary French literature, they offer new historical paradigms. As a territory marked by emptiness, corresponding to heterotopia and to a zone of pure potentiality, wastelands are characterised by their aesthetic appeal and their strong poetic potential. |
