| description | Le Gascon extravagant, value of experience and fiction as a speech on the history (of Loudun) : In this paper, I question the relation between the novel of the Gascon and the event of the demonic possession of the Ursulines in Loudun. This event is never mentioned, however it is constantly used as a reference in our way to read the novel. How the written piece that the Gascon is, does take part in the event of writings which is immediately this demonic possession, as stated by Michel de Certeau in his analysis ? I analyse first the way how this possession is immediately abscribed within a common place of the Epicurian philosophy, then how does the story embedded in the fiction-framework develop the gascon’s experience as a body ethics, and finally how the novel can be read as a « history of Loudun » as a symptom. The Gascon extravagant and its forewords are read as texts which, within the framework of the demonic possession, question a body theater functionning contrary to an ethics of actions. The novel would be another form find consolation for the religious issue which was « solved » by the possession on a spectacuar and un-memorial way, since it presented itself as a piece of Gascon – if not Libertine at least Protestant – memory. |
