520 |a The article studies the roman blanc, the empty novel, as the culmination of antirationalism in the 20th-century avant-garde. The authors were familiar with the philosophical trends of their age, which they appropriated antinomistically. Rather than taking for granted the correspondence of language and experience, the avant-gardists sought to highlight the independent functioning of language by turning towards irrationality, obscurity and ineffability. These themes emerged from medieval mysticism (Kabbalah), a source of influence for the avant-gardists. The blank book ‘La loi des purs’ by Isidore Isou charts both the praxis of language and what exceeds representation. The obscurity of the book evokes a poetics with a twofold relation to the inherent negativity of the empty novel. This relation is in the article further developed into two discrepant poetic approaches.
