AbstractThis study focuses on the singular characteristics whereby a letter from Robert Antelme, long unpublished, appears to herald the possibility of another conception of writing. In contrast with the literary tradition from which it breaks away, the letter employs a discourse that scrutinizes what lies beyond a limit of the human, which is the twentieth century's apparent legacy to every writer. Thanks to this testimony, each initiative to speak out assumes the need for a paradoxical dignity of the written word. This transcending of literature can henceforth be seen as a privative sign (aliterature) of an aesthetic understood first and foremost as soma. Several motifs attest to it, seen as a challenge that must be taken up or ignored: the precariousness of speech, the distancing of presence, the ordeal of shamelessness. But above all, the questioning of the limit, or its tacit knowledge, sets itself up as the titulary of every act of writing worthy of the name.
