By Quentin Meillassoux
Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard est composé par Mallarmé, dans sa model finale, en 1898, l’année même de sa mort. Le poème constitue l’une des ruptures littéraires les plus radicales de l. a. modernité : lignes éclatées sur tout l’espace de l. a. double web page, jeu sur los angeles taille des caractères empruntant au procédé des affiches, multiplication des incises qui déroutent los angeles lecture. Mais son énigme los angeles plus profonde tient peut-être à son contenu : une intrigue, à peine suggérée, dont le sens, l’étrangeté continuent aujourd’hui d’échapper à une pleine élucidation. L’hypothèse de Quentin Meillassoux consiste à affirmer que Mallarmé a caché dans son poème un mètre mystery, un Nombre distinctive, qui devait permettre de réinventer une poésie à l. a. fois moderne et toujours liée à l’antique règle du décompte. Une research est alors menée, qui tient à los angeles fois de l’étude littéraire, de l. a. chasse au trésor et de l’enquête policière à l. a. Edgar Poe. On y découvre progressivement que le Nombre n’est autre que l. a. somme des mots du poème et que cette idée – apparemment fantaisiste – devait pourtant être à los angeles resource, pour Mallarmé, d’un geste poétique révolutionnaire et d’une rigueur sans pareille.
