Title: Altérités de la littérature
Description: According to the hypothesis underlying this book, a literary case is the critical counterpart of a level of information provided by the scale of a map. Indeed, as a map towards the mapped terrain, a literary fact is a critical case that transforms a state of affairs into another without changing this state of affairs, like a murder that would become a psychiatric affair without ceasing to be a murder. The same is true for Rousseau's self-writing, Hölderlin's mourning, Baudelaire's sublime, Mallarmé's fiction, Marguerite Duras's love, Paul Celan's date, Charlotte Delbo's skin, memory fitting at Chris Marker, or the character owned by Jean Rouch. All these cases have been the subject of specific studies and textual analyzes, who are gathered here to think the literary fact in its critical force. These texts have been written and ordered according to the relations that literature has with other fields of knowledge, other disciplines, other practices, or at different levels of otherness.--Hermann
