« Ravaged of bias » – Lire la fiction états-unienne contemporaine
This section explores fifty years of transatlantic theoretical exchanges, for which the RFEA, founded in 1976 amid a major surge in French theoretical innovation, served as a privileged space, with a view to questioning the progress and transformations of our critical frameworks between France and the United States. Poststructuralist criticism, after its golden age in the US, is now facing various challenges. Nevertheless, the proliferation of st…
An Interview with Eugene Marten
Of Marten, besides that, we don't know much. He won't be found on social media, he doesn't have a website nor does he blog his opinions on this or that topic. He seems to be the type of writer who would do anything to fly below the radars, especially the scholarly ones: he doesn't appear to spend much time on campuses-he doesn't teach, doesn't lecture, and claims, almost apologetically, that his is pretty much an "unliterary" life
Jason Schwartz, ou la fiction brisée
Jason Schwartz’s two books so far, A German Picturesque (1998) and John the Posthumous (2013), have garnered very little criticism, which is no wonder if, as stated by Ben Marcus in his foreword to A German Picturesque, Schwartz’s fiction “slips from apprehension,” written as it is in “aphasic English cleansed of obvious meaning” (A German Picturesque viii, ix). The overly descriptive nature of the prose might in part account for this, lending th…
Conjunctions of the Literary and the Philosophical in Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century American Writing
Although in the history of the West the relation between the literary and the philosophical has often been conceived in terms of a rivalry, perhaps with one field or regime of discourse attempting to annex or tame the other, what the articles collected in this volume devoted to twentieth and twenty-first century American writing reveal is a rather striking display of conjunctions presenting a less antagonistic image of their relation. This may co…
In the End of Commentary » — 300,000,000 de Blake Butler, ou la fiction absolue
This essay questions the narrative regime developed by Blake Butler’s 300,000,000 and aims to show that the reflexivity that the text builds upon downplays rather than enhances the hermeneutic approach. If the text constantly feeds back upon itself in order to reflect (upon) its own gestures and moves as well as its very inscription on the page, its aim is to undo any sort of relation to reading conceived of as a grasping mode and to underlie ins…

The Age of Wire and String de Ben Marcus
If The Age of Wire and String by Ben Marcus will not easily be tamed, it might be because in the bricolage of its very writing something keeps eluding its reading. To paraphrase the opening of the text, The Age of Wire and String does not offer itself up to the reading act so much as, from the outset it aims to “read itself” in the course of what, for the nonce, might be called an “autography,” short-circuiting all connection with its reading. Wh…
Ben Marcus & the Question of Language (Some Notes & a Parenthesis)
L’œuvre de Ben Marcus serait le lieu d’une oscillation permanente entre le refus de toute mimesis et son exacerbation outrancière, dont l’enjeu serait l’esquisse d’une question problématique : question qui, si le travail d’écriture auquel se livre Marcus la fait indéniablement porter sur la langue, ses présupposés, ses limites, ne peut pourtant faire autrement que d’en redéployer l’espace, tout insituable qu’il soit. Si, ainsi que tend à le démon…
Entre fiction et philosophie
Although unmistakably literary, Robert Coover’s work has from the first mixed fiction with philosophical reflections and meditations, making it difficult for the reader to find a critical stance. More than an interrogation on “the fictionmaking process,” metafiction in this light can be read as a way of re-assessing our reading habits. What is at stake is how the reader can construct meaning from texts which constantly shift perspectives from the…
