Résumé anglais The paper proposes to analyze the novel 2666 by Roberto Bolaño from the notion of recognition, reinterpreted by Jesús Martín Barbero and Hermann Herlinghaus in the framework of their work on melodramatic imagination. An essential component of the melodramatic dramaturgy, the recognition acquires here a much broader significance, be it used in a literal sense or in the metaphorical sense of the term, allowing thus to tackle the issue of the social constructions of subjectivity. Besides we establish the link between this search of recognition, which reiterates itself on multiple discursive levels and registers, and the concept of precarious life developed, among others, by Judith Butler. Given its length, this article is divided into two halve. In the first, we follow the plot of the figures of recognition and un-knowledge in the first two books of Bolaño's 2666 and demonstrate how these figures are organized around different instances of the writing process and the progressive emptying of literary signs. In the first book, the reflection revolves around part around the vicissitudes of criticism and critics, their relations with literary creation on the one hand and the world by another, all of which refer to transitivity both to the author and the reader. The second book is about staging the readers and ritualistic reading. The book is portrayed as an object and a symbol which is the resonance box in which all the plots ensure the persistence of life and voices, including those of the memory.
