Matei, Alexandru. "L'espace dans les romans de Jean Echenoz : espace représenté et espace pratiqué dans l'oeuvre de Jean Echenoz." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0009.
Full textThe goal of this thesis is double folded. The analysis of spacial representations in Jean Echenoz's novels opens on a survey of two kinds of realization of space, firstly through the practice of seeing and then through that of "bricolage". Secondly, these practices are demonstrated to have a moral sense, through an interpretation borrowed from Michel Foucault's Hermeneutique du sujet. It is very important to underline, finally, the cultural approach of this study, which does not deal with the text of Echenoz's works but rather with their cultural context -the influence of continental phenomenology and cultural anthropology upon the new literary representations of postmodern Western Europe

Full textThe analysis of irony in Jean Echenoz's novels is built on both a stylistic and general level. It involves such notions as humour, comedy and parody. Refusing to take things seriously seems to be the contract made with the reader. The narrator is looked on as the caricature of an ironist and the characters he derides are eventually reappraised by a style which questions all aesthetic, cultural and social values. The effects of polyphony, intertextuality and reflexivity arouse suspicion about the novels themselves. Self-mockery leads to systemic derision which relativises everything including the ironist's attitude. Yet, beyond echenoz's nihilism, his writing proposes a paradoxical reappraisal of the common man in a worthless world

Full textSpace, both seen as a structural founding scheme and as a manifestation of contemporary culture is ubiquitous at all levels of the Echenoz’s romanesque construction: as a dimension of literary inscription (journey into the world of the library), as a model for fiction elaboration (writing mechanisms) and as a major diegetic reference. Jean Echenoz’s present work is both a milestone around which a new contemporary novelistic way comes into view, and an edifice the elements of which may be observed as dynamic of unity. The echoes and structures of this elaboration point out Echenoz’s manifest taste for a playful and enchanted written depiction of the world: language is the keystone of spatial writing, laden with geocentric characteristics, which portrays Paris in a poetically centralised role and by terrestrial exploration, reveals the vacillation of the « being » in our contemporary world. Travel becomes an escape through the denial of the dimensions of time and space by speed; the city becomes, for spectral characters ill-stricken by a form of latent wandering, the mean for experimentation, where man can explore the creases, the underground, the limits, that reveal subversive usages of law, never seen urban spatial arrangements, new paths for dwelling within a dislocated world

Full textThis thesis sets out to study the evolution of “Romanesque” in contemporary French literature, through a corpus of narratives written in the first decade of the 21st century. The works of Jean Echenoz, Jean Rolin and Patrick Deville first inspired by the extravagant patterns from action literature opened the fictional invention to other places. They particularly focus on (biographical, historical, social) reality, and use various devices of the genre, taking into account interrogations that echo the questionings borne by the new century. On the one hand, the “Romanesque”, often considered as a dream, an utopian ideal, is led to be deprived of its structure; on the other hand, it remains active in the form of fragments, impulses and topics able to boost and regenerate narratives. An homology appears between the favourite subjects of the three authors – stories of adventure, human action, considered as they appear in reality – and the way novel is handled: far from being used as a codified genre, it is rather boosted by an adventurous writing, which explores the field of knowledge and the boundaries of literature. This study aims at showing how the deception of adventurous stories enables the authors to use the power of narrative exploration and to question the subject, turning its principles into a formal and intellectual freedom. Jean Echenoz, Jean Rolin and Patrick Deville echo the evolutions of critics’ discourses, that have put forward some forms of resistance to the « end of ideologies » as well as to its alleged relativism, since the end of the 90’s
Tang, Yuqing. "Le dit du miroir : une étude parallèle d'Alain Robbe-Grillet et de Jean Echenoz." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030088.
Full textThe literary critics have found the relation between Robbe-Grillet and Echenoz and that between New Novel and young writers at Midnight. However, in terms of their filiation, there is no systematic research related to the convergent and divergent aspects so far, especially the differences and similarities in the narration. By interpreting the obscurity of the mirror as the fragmentation of multiple reflections and the inversion of the vacancy as well, this dissertation finds that the subject in their writings incorporates both the self and the other to itself in vain because of the identity crisis. Based on the antithesis between here and there, both authors provide a typology space dominated by vacancy and openness. Regarding the narrative structure, there are different ways to mirror reflections within a text and between the texts. Moreover, from the perspective of the critical discourses, or in the mirror of their respective groups, both writers form some overlapped and inter-excluded specular images

Full textSince 1980, the literary scene in France has witnessed a revival of romance once made obsolete by the New Novel (Nouveau Roman). Realistic, social, musical, crime, spy and adventure fiction has thus sprung up again. The current study examines and questions the problematic of “return” especially the return of adventure fiction in the very representative work of Jean Echenoz. Thought reviving a classical genre, the author does not shy away from modifying and remodeling that genre’s configurations and issues. Thus, this survey elaborates a poetic of the postmodern fiction of adventures, revisiting a traditional genre to extract contemporary forms and issues, so to speak. But from a broader perspective, the study underscores the tribulations of Echenoz’s fiction, work which does not mind to collapse plots, oscillate from one genre to another or sway between two space-times, at the risk of presenting itself in a turbulent mode of writing confounding the reader - who fells helpless in the face of the unbridled audacity of the author and his narrative perturbations

Full textIrony is back. Today, we are witnessing a burst of literary and artistic productions which are characterized by "thoughtful lightness". The irony is often described as postmodern irony because of his bonds with the entire cultural symptom of the postmodern society. With the rise of writers of a new generation of Editions de Minuit among whom Jean Echenoz, Eric Chevillard and Jean-Philippe Toussaint are predecessors, the postmodern irony has asserted itself in French literary creation to which added Milan Kundera who is a writer of another generation and of another culture. Irony of these writers is not only used as a way to distance from the writing, but also a vision of the world that we would call it the "cheerful disenchantment". We explore the relationship of irony and question of existence in our research. First of all, irony is a cleaved conscience. Such conscience state has come true in a mode of speech as exteriorization of the cleaved conscience and a way of obtaining an overview. In this research, we would like to go into detail the following questions: where shall we be situated is the long process of separation? What have the subject, his action and his way of being become? Which is the mode of speech that is derived of the conscience of this contemporary subject? We try to answer these questions with our reflections brought to the irony phenomenon in the contemporary literary representation
Thimonnier, Charlotte. "Pratiques et enjeux du détail dans les romans de Juan José Saer, Jean Echenoz et Daniele del Giudice." Paris 7, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA070076.
Full textAlthough the concept of detail is at the heart of a history of aesthetics, it generally remains elusive from a theoretical point of view. Such theoretical negligence or powerlessness is startling. Our first intuition was that the end of the XX century novel writing has inherited this great history of detail and draws its own resources from it. The novels of the Argentinean Juan Jose Saer, of the French Jean Echenoz and the Italian Daniele Del Guidice bear witness of the vitality of the uses of detail and their narrative, semiological and poetic stakes. Defined as what appears while it could or should have remained unnoticed, detail upsets, or even brings about a crisis in the order of representation and narration, as well as in the construction of meaning. Derived from an act of detailing (that we called in French détaille) on the part of the novelist, the narrator or the reader, through which they appropriate the text, it is the minimal but fondamental meeting point of attention and intention and the place where the rhythms of writing and reading take shape. We began our analysis by focusing on the perceptive act of detailing depicted through the eyes of the characters of the novel, we then turned to the textual act of detailing, le. The effort of the novelist and narrator to draw attention to such or such detail, but also to the personal involvement of the reader. We then focused on the question of meaning and insignifiance of detail by studying the indication and detail that convey a reality effect. Finally we dealt with the question of the place, measure and functions of detail in the narrative economy and, more generally, in the poetics of these three novelists

Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA122/document.
Full textThis thesis endeavours to examine the representation that the contemporary novel imparts to tourism. It draws on a corpus of novels issued between 1990 and 2010, involving writers as diverse as Éric Chevillard, Jean Echenoz, Mathias Énard, Michel Houellebecq, Lydie Salvayre, Olivier Rolin or Jean-Philippe Toussaint. Each of these writers seeks to outwit often prescriptive and stereotyped views. These authors shed light on the tourist’s contradictory aspirations and the way this unexpectedly complex character, whose behaviour has been inherited from ancient historical and literary paradigms, interacts. The contemporary novel also takes over tourism as a line of business– a heterotopia, as Michel Foucault understood it– akin to a repertoire of forms, contributing to its aesthetic renewal. Lastly, the novel interrogates this touristic interface device, which, positioning itself between the traveler and the outer world, jeopardizes the understanding of it. Hence, the return to transitive writing is thwarted by a reality that falls away under its own representation. Paradoxically enough, while consenting to confront that medium which tourism represents, and playing upon and against the stereotypes it conveys, the novel manages to rekindle its ties with an original journey

Full textThe subject of originality in the contemporary novel: identification of stylistics caracteristics in the three works of Annie Ernaux, Jean Echenoz and Patrick Modiano. This work consists in a relevant analysis of the stylistic features of the French novel these days. This work is based upon three approaches whose the first consist in identifying the relation of influence and intertextuality which link the texts of ours authors with the texts of their predecessors. The novel takes its roots in the literary heritage, and then it transforms itself progressively through the writing act. We have seen that Annie Ernaux, Jean Echenoz and Patrick Modiano are atypical authors who have been able to extract from the literary heritage its very substance in order to produce a masterpiece. In addition, we have conducted an analytical study of the writing methods used by each one of these authors

Full textTowns and cities have always taken a central role in literature, and particularly in fiction (novels). The latter half of the 20th century was a turning point, named the Spatial Turn by postmodern critics, whereby space, and particularly urban space, became a favourite object of analysis for thinkers and theorists, including the literary. Jean Echenoz, Orhan Pamuk and Paul Auster are contemporaries of this period, during which the urban novel flourished. These three authors respectively placed Paris, Istanbul and New York at the heart of their writing which was coloured by a postmodern outlook and a questioning of the present. Our study is that of the fictional representation of these metropolises in the works of these three authors. In the light of the contemporary theoretical perspectives of space, and particularly geocriticism, we will study the way in which the writing of these authors takes on board the urban image. By surveying the person-city relationship in particular, our work will strive to define how the fictional representation of a city is affected by the perception of an observer. We will also ask ourselves how this observer, product of an era when ontological uncertainty was the only certainty, projects his identity crisis onto the urban scene drawn by the novel. The reassessment of the global city utopia constitutes an axis around which we propose to study the picture drawn of Paris, Istanbul and New York in the postmodern fictions : Piano by Echenoz, The Black Book by Pamuk and City of Glass by Auster
Bouchy, Florence. "Le jeu des objets dans le roman français contemporain : une expérience de la quotidienneté." Bordeaux 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009BOR30024.
Full textThe considerable legacy left by Georges Perec to the writings of the everyday and the renewed interest for the notion of everyday life brought about by the Human Sciences in the 50s and 60s make it possible to question the specificities of novels that were published after 1980. Analysing the pervasive presence of objects in the works of Jean Echenoz, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Christian Gailly and Christian Oster provides a remarkable insight into the specific experiences of the everyday with which they are all confronted. Why would seemingly trivial details be valued to such a high degree in their writings? It appears that, in their commonality, objects reflect the shared dimension of everyday practices, since their use defines the contours of a community of experience within a given society. So much so that these writers’ stylistic approach to objects seems to reflect an endeavour not only to represent the world around them but to give life to the sensitive experience of the everyday, and even to experiment with it. In doing so, they create proper conditions for the tensions of the urban everydayness to unfold, the novel becoming the place where it is possible to reconfigure them, point out at their dangers and suggest what is at stake there. As a complement to these novels, the work of Annie Ernaux, which includes many objects as well as reflections upon the everyday life, while wavering between the temptation and the refusal of the novelistic, helps us question the everyday’s affinities with the novelistic and understand the difficulties of their reconciliation
Cruse, Philippine. "Pour une écriture trans-moderne : parallèles entre littérature française et arts plastiques depuis 1980." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA040015.
Full textThe subject of this dissertation is to examine has the will to investigate French contemporary literature and its connections to art. We chose to study four French contemporary writers : Sylvie Germain, Pascal Quignard, Jean Echenoz et Jean Philippe Toussaint. The choice of novels from the last twenty years is motivated by the need to underline new propositions, symptomatic of a mutation in the literature field. Too many people speak about this period as a time of crisis. We are proposing new perspectives. Concerning our particular choice of those authors, all have personal relations with the image that we wish to analyse. The relations between a text and an image are difficult to analyse because there are as different as fundamentally linked. If the text makes sense, the image gives appearance. However, writing also means making an inscription and continuing the gesture. This anlysis offers a methodology to study a text in literature, motivated by an aesthetical interrogation and based upon a thematic approach. What seems for us interesting in this thesis is that we are asking questions about the contemporary literature with an aesthetical perspective. This analysis wants to underline relations between the text and the image in order to describe two tendencies in contemporary literature : one which makes the report of a disenchanted world and another that tends toward an ideal. Through all this work, our wish is to show how images give keys to the analysis of a text. As a conclusion, this thesis wants testify how relations between art and literature can be creative

Full textIn various fields, including literature, much work has been done on the question of space over the last few years and decades. Some refer to a “spatial turn” in humanities and social sciences. However, in spite of a considerable general interest in this topic, the notion of space remains equivocal. The term is commonly used to denote basic facts in geography, urbanism and astronomy, but the concept is also often said to be rather complex. Husserl claimed that space was both a “content” and a “form”, while Einstein believed that its genuine nature was at the same time “obscure” and “undeniably objective”. In this thesis, we take into account the complexity of the space itself and challenge the notion of spatiality in literature. The corpus consists of novels and narratives written by V.S. Naipaul, Martin Amis, Jean Echenoz, François Bon, Radoslav Petković and David Albahari. Spatiality, such as defined here, brings us to examine both content- and form-related issues, including urban and non-urban space, spatial “polarization” (“centers” and “peripheries”, “local” and “global”, “known” and “unknown” places), border, toponymy and topography. The use of some terms specifying spatial location (such as deictics) is also analyzed, as well as the iconographic representations of space referred to in the texts and, finally, different forms of self-reflexive discourse inherent in the writing of space. The analysis reveals that every level of spatiality has an essentially dynamic, non-static quality, as the elements that it is composed of are in constant opposition and interaction
Mongelli, Marco. "Narrer une vie, dire la vérité ˸ la biofiction contemporaine." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019USPCA026/document.
Full textThis thesis aims to analyse a contemporary and transnational literary phenomenon: biofiction. The dissertation combines a historical interest in the practice of biography, with a theoretical and analytical perspective for the way in which biographical accounts were invested by fiction, and a critical and comparative attention for specific contemporary texts. A taxonomy proposal of the many different forms of literary biographies is accompanied by the desire to describe the poetics of contemporary biofiction, its literary challenges and its extra-literary implications (historiographical, sociological, philosophical, political): the aim is to evaluate the epistemological and heuristic consistency of biofiction as an interpretative category of reality.From a methodological point of view, the analyses of the millennial evolution of the biographical is followed by the study of the birth and development of hybrid forms in the second half of the twentieth century, in the West, with the purpose of tracing a specific genealogy of the biofictional genre, taking into account the pioneering texts, those that anticipate a certain poetic or dominant aesthetic tension. Subsequently, the work proposes a comparative analysis of some contemporary texts, above all Italian and French, based on different textual criteria and through the tools of narratology. Firstly, the hybrid character, between document and invention, of biofiction (and therefore the coexistence of referential materials and fictional techniques) is evaluated; at the same time, special attention is given to the narrative voice: by questioning the place that it occupies within the story and analysing its function, it is possible to grasp the reasons for the use of biographical discourse in contemporary récits, and at the same time to verify how these kind of narratives try to say a precise and original truth about a particular man.As underlined by the title of the thesis, the specific connection that links the life narrative and the expression of a truth about that life is the heart of this research, the key to analysing biofictional works in their specificity and its ways of conceiving the reconstruction of a particular identity and of individual and collective, public and private memory
Questa tesi intende analizzare un fenomeno letterario contemporaneo e transnazionale: la biofiction. Il lavoro combina un interesse storico per la pratica della biografia, uno teorico e analitico per la maniera con cui essa è stata investita dalla fiction, e uno critico e comparativo per i testi specifici contemporanei. Uno sforzo di tassonomia delle molte e diverse forme del biografico letterario si accompagna alla volontà di descrivere le poetiche particolari della biofiction contemporanea, le sue sfide letterarie e le sue implicazioni extra-letterarie (storiografiche, sociologiche, filosofiche, politiche): il fine è di valutare la consistenza epistemologica ed euristica della biofiction in quanto categoria interpretativa del reale.Da un punto di vista metodologico il lavoro incrocia lo studio dell’evoluzione millenaria del genere biografico con quello sulla nascita e lo sviluppo delle forme ibride nella seconda metà del XX secolo, in Occidente, con l’obiettivo di rintracciare una genealogia specifica del genere biofinzionale e di identificarne i testi pionieri, quelli che anticipano una determinata poetica o tensione estetica oggi dominante. In seguito, il lavoro propone un’analisi comparativa di alcuni testi contemporanei, soprattutto italiani e francesi, sulla base di criteri testuali diversi e attraverso gli strumenti della narratologia. In primo luogo, si è valutato il carattere ibrido, tra documento e invenzione, della biofiction (e quindi la coesistenza di materiali referenziali e di tecniche finzionali); allo stesso tempo, particolare rilevanza ha assunto il concetto di narratore: interrogando il posto che occupa nel racconto e analizzando la sua funzione è infatti possibile cogliere le ragioni dell’uso del biografico nei récits contemporanei, e insieme verificare in quale maniera essi cercano di dire una verità precisa e originale su un uomo particolare. Come testimonia il titolo della tesi, il nodo specifico che lega la narrazione di una vita e l’enunciazione di una verità a proposito di quella vita rappresenta il cuore della ricerca, la chiave con la quale analizzare le opere nella loro specificità e valutarne il modo di concepire la ricostruzione di un’identità particolare e di una memoria individuale e collettiva, pubblica e privata

Jean Echenoz is one of the most important writers in contemporary French literature. He is considered by Les Éditions de Minuit as the one who inaugurates a new generation of literature after the nouveau roman of the 1950s and 1960s. He started his writing career in 1980s and remains active in literary circles. Until now, he has written more than ten novels. His works can be roughly divided into three categories: rewriting of sub-genre, story set in an exotic landscape and biographical fiction. In this study, we aim to explore the postmodernity in the works of Echenoz through the writing and the organization of story. We use Cherokee as the primary text and other works of Echenoz in the first two categories as supplementary texts. In the first chapter, we discuss the description of character from two aspects. One is to illustrate the postmodern writing of Echenoz by indicating the confrontation between tradition and innovation in the construction of characters. The other is to identify the forces which prompt the development of story from the particularities of the characters and their actions, and to show that this novel is largely determined by some postmodern conditions. In the second chapter, we focus on how the postmodern era is represented in the novel and how the postmodern aesthetics is manifested in the description of space, precisely the characters’ perceptions of space and time, in order to see if these perceptions facilitate the progression of the plot. In the third chapter, we compare Cherokee with detective novel and roman noir. With their similarities and differences in narrative and structure, we can see that the novelist manifests the postmodern aesthetics by using the generic conventions inherent in the sub-genre and destabilizing them. It is clear that Echenoz displays the postmodern writing in the description of character, of space and the narrative of Cherokee. He casts the characters of Cherokee in the postmodern world and activates the story by evoking people’s desire in the consumer society. Analyzing Cherokee from the perspective of postmodernism reveals the mixture of tradition and innovation in the writing of Echenoz and particularly his attachment to the contemporary society.

Full textThis thesis focuses on readings from the oeuvre of four contemporary writers of French fiction: Jean Echenoz, Michel Houellebecq, Jean-Claude Izzo and Lydie Salvayre, supported by references to texts of several writers of the recent and distant past, the most important of whom is Gustave Flaubert. Through textual analysis, the overall aim is to identify narrative strategies which are sufficiently general to enable the construction of a typology of reading pleasure, applicable beyond the confines of the novels and novellas in question. In order to do this, arguments will be drawn from a variety of disciplinary sources, only some of which would be considered directly literary. Several of Roland Barthes‘s short articles serve as both springboard and foil to the development of this thesis. In one case a well-known literary artefact, l'effet de réel, will be closely examined, and finally declared to be an inescapable, but short lived, mode of entry into a world governed by the much broader l'effet de fiction, itself a consequence of a silent pact of make-believe between author and reader. Even though pleasure in general results from a complex emotional/cognitive response to some kind of stimulus, it is tentatively concluded that, in spite of inevitable variability in terms of intensity and duration, based on past and present subjective experiences and motivations, reading pleasure can be classified under five main headings. These are familiarity, surprise, discovery, ambiguity and anomaly.

Full textL’essai Études des procédés d’appropriation esthétique de l’astronautique dans Nous trois de Jean Echenoz explore les stratégies développées par l’écrivain Jean Echenoz pour engager un dialogue inédit avec le thème de l’astronautique, qu’il met en récit dans son sixième roman. Caractérisé par une adhésion ludique et distanciée au genre romanesque, Nous trois multiplie les jeux stylistiques, référentiels et langagiers, inscrivant son univers thématique au sein d’une esthétique de la précarité, qui n’épargne aucune dimension de l’œuvre. La structure du récit induit une part troublante d’équivoque autour de l’identité des personnages et des instances narratives. Sur le plan diégétique, le romancier met en place un univers instable et inquiétant dans lequel le milieu de l’astronautique est exposé sans complaisance. Tirant profit de la précarité inhérente au langage, Echenoz s’approprie un lexique rattaché au thème de l’astronautique qu’il exploite à des fins stylistiques. Le roman Hellen-Freischmann raconte le parcours d’un personnage écrivain singulier qui cherche à faire publier un manuscrit ayant pour protagonistes des corps célestes. Cette trame narrative a pour contrepoint un récit mettant en scène l’éditrice d’une maison d’édition prestigieuse, qui doit composer avec cette soumission atypique. Ces personnages évoluent au sein d’un univers sombre où l’étrangeté côtoie le familier, où le vraisemblable menace de basculer dans le fantastique, où la fiction contamine la réalité. Le roman est porté par une voix narrative inusitée, instable, caractérisée par des jeux complexes de focalisation, des registres contrastés et une certaine indécidabilité quant au rapport de la narration à l’histoire racontée. Ce narrateur assimile une nomenclature propre à l’astronomie, qui sert tant le développement de l’intrigue que les jeux stylistiques du roman.
The essay entitled Études des procédés d’appropriation esthétique de l’astronautique dans Nous trois de Jean Echenoz explores the strategies employed by the author Jean Echenoz to engage in a new dialogue with the theme of astronautics, which he brings into play in his sixth novel. Characterized by a playful and distanced adherence to literary fiction, Nous trois plays with styles, references and language, inscribing his universe into an esthetic of precariousness, sparing no dimension of his work. His narrative structure induces a troubling ambiguity around the characters’ identities and narrative instances. On a diegesis level, the author sets an unstable and unsettling universe in which the subject of astronautics is exposed without any complacency. Taking advantage of the language’s inherent precariousness, Echenoz takes ownership of the astronautics’ lexicon which he employs to further his style. The novel Hellen-Freischmann narrates the journey of a peculiar author whose goal is to publish his manuscript starring celestial bodies as protagonists. This narrative is intertwined with the tale of a publisher from a prestigious publishing house who must come to terms with this atypical submission. These characters evolve within a dark universe where strangeness stands alongside familiarity, where likelihood threatens to fall into fantasy, and fiction contaminates reality. The novel is carried by an unusual and unstable voice, characterized by complex plays on focus, contrasted language use, and a certain indecision towards the role of narration in the story told. This playful narrator incorporates a nomenclature proper to astronomy, which serves both the intrigue and the style of the novel.

Full textThis doctoral thesis highlights present-day French authors’ narrative strategies used to illustrate and conceive the present. Our central hypothesis is that through an act of utterance intermeshing discourse and narration, as well as the critical and pragmatic use of references to the past, today’s narrative literature offers a counterpoint to the “presentism” described by François Hartog (i.e. a retrospective look at eras in which the present is both the vantage point and the point under observation). By so doing, contemporary authors offer a system of historicities where the past and the future are linked to the present in order to reconcile the link between the three temporal categories and reveal a present which, otherwise, would remain narratively elusive or subrogated to the authority of a past or a future that dictates its behaviour. By distancing their works from the fictional genre and from the narrative form it embodies, Pierre Bergounioux, François Bon, Olivier Cadiot, Annie Ernaux, Chloé Delaume, Jean Echenoz and Olivier Rolin, amongst others, are part of the enunciative tradition of the narrative, considered here as a literary genre in which the enunciation and the text in gestation are, in and of themselves, their own intrigue. In the contemporary narrative, the aim of the enunciation subject is to clarify its relationship to time by using enunciative scenes having to do with this quest and the conversation so that from a personal and intellectual anamnesis, as well as from the clash of a memory with its recounting, emerge the characteristics integral to the present experience. And yet, one of the characteristics of the present that the contemporary subject experiences seems to be a resistance to narration and to storytelling, which makes it almost impervious to literary analysis. Authors take up this opposition to storytelling by using, in an effort to bring the immediacy of the present to the foreground, the note, the journal entry, and literary genres that thwart narration, such as poetry. In spite of their enunciative efforts to distil the present from the operation that transforms it into the past, these authors are nevertheless faced, time and again, with having to live the immediate dissipation of the present and their inability to capture in a literary form its essence. Perhaps the only way to offer a glimpse of this is to try to create the present by repeatedly showing the impossibility of such an achievement.
