Poétique de la vulnérabilité : Baudouin de Bodinat

critique et attentive à la sensibilité, aux résonances. Recent and frequent crises have highlighted vulnerabilities in a wide range of sectors of the contemporary world. Few writers have been more attentive to them than Baudouin de Bodinat, who has been stubbornly trying to identify their causes. His merit is that he addresses the vulnerabilities of the contemporary world not only in the context of the « natural » world (global warming, decline in biodiversity), but also in terms of culture and human sensitivity. This article therefore seeks to draw out of Bodinat’s work a poetics of vulnerability, which he himself says has its roots in German Romanticism – a source that refers to an aesthetic orientation that is both critical and attentive to sensitivity and resonance.
