Lorand Gaspar : une poéthique de la traduction

Lorand Gaspar was a doctor of many talents (poet, essayist, translator, photographer, etc.), but beyond this simply accumulative vision, my “return” to Gasparian poetics seeks to perceive how these different activities contributed to the implementation of a commitment to perception and practical wisdom, based on the idea of knowledge that is fundamentally open to successive questioning and different forms of otherness. Taking as a starting point his notes on the practices of medicine in Feuilles d’Hôpital (2023), as well as his intermedial discourse in Carnets de Patmos (1998), my aim is to explore the ways of what I call Lorand Gaspar’s “poethics of translation”, which enabled him to anticipate the hermeneutic horizon of solicitude (or “care”) that has in the meantime established itself as a real turning point in the various fields of thought and art alike.
