Reflets oulipiens et approches parallèles dans la littérature germanophone.

What is the impact of the Oulipo on German-language literature? To answer this question I have submitted a questionnaire to a dozen contemporary Germanophone writers known in the field of "writing under constraint." It emerges that Oulipian texts are, of course, read and influential; but most of the authors also see themselves as anchored in the German-language tradition of experimental poetry, and especially inspired by the works of Ernst Jandl. This article will explore the Oulipian impact but also highlight Jandl's poems under constraint and reflect on parallels and differences between his playful, performance-oriented approach and the Oulipian practice of constrained writing.
