If, according to Merleau-Ponty, there is a “logos of the sensitive world”, the Franco-Mauritian writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio not only hears it, but also listens to it attentively, while attempting to give voice to the “silent minorities” that humanity generally neglects. Through his novel Alma, Le Clézio offers his readers an incursion into animal subjectivity, an incursion governed by the enunciative and linguistic laws that the writer orchestrates to transpose into words the mental processes, experiences, and feelings of the Raphus Cucullatus, the endemic bird of Mauritius which became extinct three centuries ago. The present chapter aims to demonstrate how, through the intelligence and subtlety of literary language, the novelist succeeds in expressing the point of view of a sentient being devoid of articulated language without resorting to “artificial” writing methods, such as disarticulating or deconstructing the human language.
