Content

Throughout this curriculum we will thoroughly study the relation between fact and fiction, as well as the manner in which the latter elaborates from a reality felt to be somewhat chaotic and/or disturbing.

The constituent elements of the curriculum are, on the one hand works by theorists (literature critics or theorists, as well as philosophers) and on the other hand, literary experiments from the 19th to the 21st Century. We will particularly focus on considerations concerning the modalities, possibilities and stakes of fiction, regarding borderline experiences within the literary phenomenon (Gustave Flaubert, Marguerite Duras, Antoine Volodine).

Bibliography

A collection of texts and a selected bibliography will be provided.
