The Literature of Silence and Other Spaces Through the writing Experience of (Roland Barthes, Maurice Blancheau, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault)

Abstract

The question about the experience of writing is a question about the existential experience that freed man from his metaphysical illusions, to another empirical reality, in which all the intellectual constants that have frozen the human mind for decades have been shaken. This question is what makes us seek, in this study, to research the statements of (Roland Barthes, Maurice Blancheau, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault), who in their critical vision, from the question of the nature of (literature) as posed by Jean-Paul Sartre, to discovering the nature of (Writing) that reveals the absolute presence of each limited and partial presence, where each word reserves its right to silence, and creates other spaces for language of the self.

Starting with the French critic and philosopher Roland Barthes, whose critical writings dealt with the experience of writing in depth and comprehensiveness, investigating the experience of the writer, the text, the reader, and the critic all together. Then we try to approach the literary space in with Maurice Blancheau whose launched his questions about writing and its implications that deal with the principles of (silence) and (solitude). Then we explore the Derdida’s vision and his concept of writing (the trace) and what he means by (the primitive word), what makes literature as an eye for seeing the world, what makes Derrida look at writing as a first adventure for words that are no longer in their places. Finally, with Foucault in introducing his idea of ​​(the science of other places), we discover how the concepts of writing were turned upside down, and his vision of language became that pure spacing of disjointed words, in which the truth of things vanishes, and the possibility of having meaning has drowning completely in silence.
