The face and regard, which are placed in a central position in the novel, are at the same time a metaphor, subject and object of the novel. My starting thesis is that \u201cKitelep\u00edt\u00e9s\u201d (\u2018Relocation\u2019) is certainly more than a text in the strict sense. The medial element (face\/regard) that I examine, and more broadly the Body-Poetic analysis of the work, seems unavoidable for the interpretation precisely for this reason. Half of Visky\u2019s book is literally a biblical text, and even a text of quasi-revelation: as a linguistic articulation of primary sensory\/bodily experiences. On the other hand, I approache this fathernovel as a novel of the face-blank, as a form of lack in the etymological sense of the word apocalypse. The theoretical framework of my writing is formed by the relevant works of Hans Belting, Emmanuel L\u00e9vinas, Paul Ricoeur and Jean Starobinski.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
