Black Magic in A.S. Byatt’s Little Black Book of Stories: Painting the Body Sublime
Colours in Byatt’s collection of short stories are either organic or related to the body, which is consistent with the stories as tales of domestic horror depicting the decaying body, the tortured body, the écorché body or the body left without a mind. Byatt is, in particular, a black magician evoki...

Byatt is, in particular, a black magician evoking the horror within by making use of the domestic toil of black-leading or the domestic upset of the war’s blackout to build a sophisticated metaphor of the work of art as metamorphosis. Working like a painter incrementing layers upon layers of meaning like so many touches of colour or coats of material, Byatt’s use of colour is a subtle means to work on the limit (limes) of the unspeakable and stand on the threshold (limen) between brilliance and terror so that she may transform Raw Material into Body Art as two aptly named stories suggest. Working with colours, she paints the body sublime. L’usage de la couleur dans le recueil d’A.S. Byatt se concentre sur les façons de dépeindre le corps, les nouvelles mettent en scène une forme d’horreur domestique explorant les facettes du corps mortel : corps écorché, corps malade, corps torturé, corps sans âme. Byatt use de la magie du noir pour évoquer l’horreur : bouleversement domestique provoqué par la deuxième guerre mondiale lors du black-out de Londres, labeur domestique quotidien de frotter les fourneaux à la mine de plomb (en anglais black-leading). Byatt use de magie noire pour construire une métaphore de l’œuvre d’art comme métamorphose. Travaillant à la manière du peintre, Byatt superpose les couches de sens et utilise la couleur pour explorer les limites (limes) du dicible et les zones liminales (limen) entre éclat et terreur afin de transformer Le matériau brut en Art corporel, pour reprendre les titres de deux nouvelles. La couleur aide Byatt à peindre un corps sublime. |
