Abstract  

To postulate a poetic of desire is to invoke the comportments of difference. The call for difference breeds inevitably a radical encounter with failure. The multiplex problematic of text as posture sires repercussions in Huysmans’s A rebours. The novel is sustained by a series of tropes rescinded as the non-figurability of otherness calls for inscription by proxy. The pleasure of the text resides in the de-signifying power of representation.
