La prose à l’écoute de la musique dans la littérature française de l’extrême contemporain

Conceived in the articulation between literature and music, this study bears the mark of a double ambition which relied less on an interdisciplinary or intersemiotic approach than on the attempt to reduce disciplinary and artistic breaks and separations. Today, it is the moment of the awareness of a globality which is the result of a crossbreeding, characteristic of our time, but also of the importance given to listening, this listening to the various territories which testifies more to the complex character of sound art all the more so if it is mixed with prose. Literature and music do not maintain relations of exclusivity, but of reciprocity; the musical sense invades the prose at the same time as the literary sense fills the music. Therefore, the problem of the limit does not arise as an ontological substance and condition of the two arts, but as an omnipresent leitmotif which traces fluid and multiple contours, while delimiting spaces of porosity between one and the other. Should we perhaps rethink the novel as a field of exhibition and experimentation in the complex articulation between the individual and the community where it is born and develops?
