LA LITTÉRATURE, POUR QUOI FAIRE ? (brèves réflexions au pas de course)

Resumo

In his inaugural lecture (2006), Antoine Companon defends literature and literary studies in a moral and « ruskinian » manner. At the same moment, Yves Citton builds a reading model in which literary reading is defined as « actualisation » and « affabulation ». I try to explain in this article why I prefer, given the actual crisis of literary studies, the Citton method.
