Tension and refusal of silence with Mallarmé and Beckett AB - How to think the resistance to nothingness ? Tension and refusal of silence with Mallarmé and Beckett The notion of nothingless crosses a huge part of the Mallarmé's and Beckett's works. Source of transcendence or source of a manifest depression, the nothingless proves to be a decisive line of research in order to broach those artists. We have to intersect the nothingless to the conditions of the text in order to reveal the existence of an ontological resistance. If with Beckett, the resignation appears as a fundamental element, we will detect in this litterature a vital force. Mallarmé proceeds that way when he wants to reconnect to poetry's orality, putting the voice at the center of the poet's preoccupations. Nevertheless, to think the notion of resistance for those two autors, we have to resolve a paradox. Indeed, we have to reconcile a logic of events with a physical's universe intensely homogeneous. With this aim in mind, we will lean on Leibniz's and Deleuze's thoughts to describe the mechanisms of this resistance.
