L’histoire littéraire - quelques formules nonconventionnelles du savoir littéraire
Literary History - Some Unconventional Approaches to Literary Knowledge

Summary/Abstract: The article examines certain characteristics of French literary history in light of an aesthetic of fragmentation and a poetics of discontinuity. The corpus of work mainly draws on works published by Charles Dantzig, a French writer, critic, and publisher, over the last three decades. The aim is to identify the particularities of the three formats used — anthology, dictionary, and encyclopedia — as novel, unconventional, and controversial means of cataloging and classifying literariness. The article examines the extent to which the practices of reading and writing interfere with the order of literary knowledge and blur the canons of literary history for today's readers.Keywords:
