L’auteur face au « spectacle » : vers une filiation non narrative
The author in situation of the “spectacle”: towards a non¬narrative filiation

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the concept of “filiation narratives”, proposed in 1999 by the French theorist Dominique Viart, from the point of view of the “spectacularization of the author” (V. Kaufmann) in contemporary visual culture. On the one hand, in visual culture, the media visibility of the author seems much more important than his work. On the other hand, the strictly narrative understanding of filiation is no longer possible. The example of the non-narrative filiation which connects the French writer Patrick Modiano and his daughter, singer and writer Marie Modiano, is proposed to show the resistance of literature against the abuses of media influence on literary culture.
