Abstract

In Pauvre Belgique Charles Baudelaire asked himself what follows: “Dirons-nous que le monde est devenu pour moi inhabitable?”. The well-known contemporary poet Michel Deguy has shown the same concern in some of his latest essays, published by Hermann between 2009 and 2012, especially in Fin dans le monde and Écologiques. The latter in particular will be the object of my study: I
will establish a parallelism between the poetic discourse and the debate on the ‘logies’ and the oïkos, making evidence of some stunning similarities. In fact, they both suggest that by taking things radically – “radicalement”, as Deguy prompts in his text – that is to say literally from the roots, they help us understand and revive – “poétiquement toujours” – our transitory abode.
