This article returns to the theory of rhythm sketched by Claude Zilberberg in his various works, to relate it to subjectivity as it is constituted in and by discourse, through the enunciative act. We thus try to generate a dialogue between tensive semiotics, the semiotics of enunciating instances and a phenomenology of language related to the subject of the voice —and, more deeply, of the breath as analyzed by Raúl Dorra— in order to show that, far from being an objectifying abstraction, the tensive hypothesis can be envisaged as an approach as close as possible to the subject, and directly linked to the body. To do this, the initial theoretical considerations are then confronted to the analysis of four extracts from literary works —a poem by Henri Michaux, a novel by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, a poem by Ghérasim Luca and a theater play by Samuel Beckett— which highlight the tensive substrate of enunciation (and, more precisely, of enunciative breath) and the role of rhythm in the emergence of the subject.

Keywords : enunciation; subjectivity; tensivity; rhythm.
