چکیده
The article aims at showing how, in Hardy’s fiction, all sound aspires to the condition of silence.For example in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, sounds are very often conveyed as visual impressions, andTess’s voice is hardly every heard – her voice seems choked, throttled, “stuck in her throat”. Thearticle also examines Far from the Madding Crowd and the import of the voice, of silence, of the scream, and of the heroine’s temporary aphonia. Starting from J. J. Lecercle’s work on “theviolence of language”, the author argues that the female voice in Hardy’s fiction is repressedbecause it conveys an uncontrollable, potentially dangerous form of jouissance. The Hardyan text makes us hear fractions of that jouissance by letting us perceive the echo of lalangue, thatlanguage which is filled with the lost substance of enjoyment. Cet article montre comment le son chez Hardy aspire à n’être que silence, par exemple dans Tess of the d’Urbervilles, où les impressions sonores sont souvent déplacées vers le registre visuel, et oùTess ne parvient pas à faire entendre sa voix – une voix qui semble étranglée, rentrée, coincéedans la gorge. Cet article s’interroge sur la voix dans Far from the Madding Crowd, sur le silence, sur le cri, sur l’aphonie passagère de l’héroïne. Prenant comme point de départ un travail de J.-J. Lecercle sur la « violence du langage », il développe l’idée que la voix féminine chez Hardy estréprimée en tant qu’elle véhicule une jouissance incontrôlable, potentiellement dangereuse.
