Abstract

This study aims to analyse the enunciative scenography composition (MAINGUENEAU, 2006) of the Champavert, le lycanthrope (1833) tale, written by Petrus Borel, legitimate representative of the French Frenetic Romanticism. The central issue of this article is linked to the saturation of grotesque metaphors in this tale, in its relationship with the enunciative identity of the author. The metaphors that permeate through the Champavert, le lycanthrope tale refer to the grotesque subjects of metamorphosis and the opposition between being-seeming. These metaphors weave and direct the readability of the narrative (GENETTE, 1972, 1991), indicating the strategies in the composition of its enunciative scenography. The textual analysis process reveals the structural and structuring potential of the society's metaphor like a swamp, a "conductive analogue thread" (BORDAS, 2003) of the tale chosen.
