Abstract

The present essay is a study on one of the most original contributions proposed by
Gaston Bachelard to the poetic interpretation of literary works: rythmanalysis or rythmanalytic
method. Inspired on microphysics principle of complementarity, rythmanalysis aims at
aprehending the ambiguous and ambivalent operation of imagination, which indulges in
harmonizing contrary movements. First, the concept’s origin is tracked in two essays from the
book Études (Studies). In a second moment, we follow it up to its consumation in the investigation
the philosopher undertakes on time in La dialectique de la durée (The Dialectics of Duration). Finally,
the concept is shown at full hermeneutic blossom in the collected articles that make up Le droit de
rêver (The Right to Dream), in which the works of artists as distinct as Mallarmé, Poe, Rimbaud,
Eluard, Michelet and Balzac are poetically and rythmanalytically appraised.
