The Poetics of Deviation in the Poetry of Othmane Louceif
Main Article Content
Abstract
The researcher "John Cohen" traces the concept of deviation back to its origins, referencing "Bruneau" and the poet "Valéry" before him. He agrees with them in considering language as deviant when it is unfamiliar and deviates from common usage. It is a deliberate mistake motivated by aesthetic impulses, and the creative deviations form the artist's style, which is studied by poetics (la poétique). Cohen claims that creative poets share a common feature: the method of deviation that unites them. Within this method, individual poets are distinguished by their personal deviations.
