Summary: | 'Jeux de mots' celebrates the creative power of wordplay from Rabelais to present times. Puns, portmanteaus, "bon mots", neologisms, fetish-words: this collective volume focuses on literary wordplay in very different fields such as literary onomastics and constrained writing, both in prose and in poetry. Specialists in the field show how, from Rabelais to Richard Millet through Roussel and Roubaud and from Mallarmé to Fargue through Apollinaire and "nonsense verse", prose and poetry explore the productivity of words, their power of metamorphosis and their capacity to make meaning shift. The volume ends with a section on wordplay in philosophy and the cinema.
