| - NEE DE SUPORTS TRES DIVERS, ORIENTEE ENSUITE VERS LES CAHIERS ET LES GRANDS REGISTRES UTILISES PLUS SYSTEMATIQUEMENT APRES 1900, LA FORMULATION DE L'ECRITURE VALERYENNE NE SAURAIT ETRE DISSOCIEE DES CONDITIONS MATERIELLES DU DOCUMANT, QUI DEFINISSENT UNE APPROCHE PARTICULIEREMENT ORIGINALE DE L'ESPACE DE LA PAGE, SAISI DANS L'UNITE DE SON FONCTIONNEMENT, UNITE VISUELLE DE L'INSCRIPTION, HERITEE DE MALLARME, VOLONTIERS CALLIGRAPHIQUE ; UNITE EGALEMENT DE REGIME SCRIPTURAL QUI, PAR UN PHENOMENE DE CADRAGE ET DE CONDENSATION DE LA PENSEE, INFLUANT A L'OCCASION SUR LA FORMULATION DES IDEES, FAVORISE AUSSI UNE ECRITURE PARADOXALEMENT ECLATEE OU L7AMBITION D'UN SYSTEME INTELLECTUEL VIENT MARQUER SES LIMITES : LA PAGE, SURFACE DYNAMISEE PAR LE JEU COMPLEXE DES ENONCES ET D'UN BESOIN D'EXPRESSION ILLUSTRATIVE, PROJETTE LES STRATEGIES DIVERSES QUI INFORMENT L'ELABORATION DE L'ECRIT. DANS CE ROLE CAPITAL, RELAYE PAR D'AUTRES COMPOSANTS (LE JEU RECTO VERSO, LE STATUT DE RAYURES, DES SCHEMAS ABSTRAITS ET DES DESSINS, LA TENTATION D'UN SYSTEME D'EXPRESSION IDEOGRAPHIQUE, LA CONSICENCE DE L'IRREDUCTIBLE ETRANGETE OU DES ALEAS DE L'ACTE D'ECRIRE), LA GENESE DE L'ECRITURE VALERYENNE TROUVERA L'UN DE SES FONDEMENTS ESSENTIELS. C'EST L'INTERACTION FECONDATRICE D'UNE ECRITURE NAISSANTE ET DES POSSIBLES DE LA PAGE QUE NOTRE ETUDE S'ATTACHE A ANALYSER. FORMATION QUI AURA POU SITE PRIVILEGIE LES CAHIERS, DONT LA PUBLICATION EN TANT QU'\"OUVRAGE\" MASSIF A ESCAMOTE LA DIVERSITE ET LES MULTIPLES ANTECEDENTS. SI, POUR VALERY, IL N'Y AURA \"RIEN DE PLUS BEAU QU'UN BEAU BROUILLON\" (CAHIERS C.N.R.S., XV, 481), LES CAHIERS
- SITUATED FROM ITS EARLIEST STAGES IN A VARIETY OF DOCUMENTS, AND ORIENTATED AFTER 1900TOWARDS PAPERBACK OR HARDBACK NOTEBOOKS, THE FORMATION OF VALERY'S WRITING DEPENDS CLOSELY ON THE MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DOCUMENTS UTILISED. THE SPACE OF THE PAGE IS APPREHENDED IN ITS FUNCTIONAL UNITY : A VISUAL UNITY, INHERITED FR5OM MALLARME, OF CALLIGRAPHIC PROPORTIONING ; A UNITY WHICH CAN INFLUENCE THE FORMULATION OF IDEAS BY FRAMING AND CONDENSATION OF THOUGHTS, AND WHICH PARADOXICALLY FAVOURS A FRAGMENTED MODE, SETTING LIMITS TO THE EARLY AMBITION OF A TOTALISING INTELLECTUAL SYSTEM. THE PAGE, VITALISED BY THE COMPLEXITY OF DISTRIBUTION AS OF SPECIFIC FORMS OF WORDING, AND MADE VIBRANT BY A THRUSTING NECESSITY TO EXPRESS, PROJECTS THE MANY STRATEGIES WHICH PRESIDE OVER THE GENESIS AND ELABORATION OF THE TEXT. THIS ESSENTIAL ROLE, COMPLEMENTED BY OTHER FACTORS (THE PLAY OF RECTO AND VERSO RELATIONSHIPS, THE STATUS OF ERASURE, ABSTRACT DIAGRAMS AND DRAWING, THE INVESTIGATION OF IDEOGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION, AND THE STRANGENESS OR THE RISKS WHICH ACCOMPANY THE ACT OF WRITING), IS OF FOUNDING IN VALERY'S WORK. THIS STUDY, SITUATING THE FORMATIVE LOCUS IN THE NOTEBOOKS AND THEIR DIVERSITY OF COMPOSITION, HIGHLIGHTS THE FERTILE INTERACTION OF DEVELOPING APPROACHES TO WRITING AND THE POTENTIAL OF THE PAGE ITSELF. \"NOTHING FINER THAN A FIRST DRAFT\" : VALERY'S REMARK INVITES A READING OF THE NOTEBOOKS AS THE \"DRAFT\" OF HIS COMPLETE WORKS, A MELTING-POT OF INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC CREATIVITY.
