Let's get together with a drink and discuss this book :) * Address to be announced. * Limited spaces to ensure a nice discussion. Please only join if you can attend. * **Confirmation and Location via our Whatsapp group :)** About the book: When Chris Kraus, an unsuccessful artist pushing 40, spends an evening with a rogue academic named Dick, she falls madly and inexplicably in love, enlisting her husband in her haunted pursuit. Dick proposes a kind of game between them, but when he fails to answer their letters Chris continues alone, transforming an adolescent infatuation into a new form of philosophy. Blurring the lines of fiction, essay and memoir, Chris Kraus's novel was a literary sensation when it was first published in 1997. Widely considered to be the most important feminist novel of the past two decades, I Love Dick is still essential reading; as relevant, fierce and funny as ever. * [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/243991.I_Love_Dick?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=C72YV9cUWC&rank=1](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/243991.I_Love_Dick?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=C72YV9cUWC&rank=1)

Mythologies/Roland BARTHES - Fictions/Jorge Luis BORGES

Mythologies/Roland BARTHES - Fictions/Jorge Luis BORGES

Sun, Oct 18, 2:30 PM
From Club de lecture - Les Mots Passants
4.9

Cet automne, Barthes et Borges se rencontrent. Ca tombe bien, ils semblent faits pour s'entendre ! Jeux de formes ; jeux de signes ; omnipotence du lecteur ; oubli de l'auteur ... Le premier (Roland) associe le second (Jorge Luis) au mouvement de démystification propre à la littérature moderne, et, de lui, nous lirons ... *Mythologies* ;) ! Le second considère que "la littérature n'est pas autre chose qu'un rêve dirigé" et, de lui, nous lirons ... *Fictions* :) ! ***" Mythologies"* de R. BARTHES :** L'Antiquité avait son Oedipe, le Grand Siècle son roi Soleil, et voilà que Barthes donne à la France de l'après-guerre ses nouveaux emblèmes : la DS Citroën, le Tour de France, le steak frites... Tous objets d'un culte bourgeois, ils deviennent de véritables mythes pour une société qui finit par se penser à travers eux. Mais si Barthes se penche avec la rigueur de l'ethnologue sur ces nouveaux mythes, c'est pour mieux en dénoncer les mécanismes : l'idéologie dominante ne s'inventerait ainsi des valeurs que pour légitimer des "normes bourgeoises" qui en manquent singulièrement... Écrites quotidiennement de 1954 à 1956, ces mythologies déploient une écriture fine, cultivée et juste, à lire comme autant de petites chroniques savoureuses. Toutefois, on les retiendra avant tout pour l'actualité de leurs propos : sur le même modèle, on trouverait sans peine de nouvelles mythologies, qui ne seraient sans doute pas très éloignées de celles que Barthes, en son temps, mettait en évidence. ***" Fictions "* de J.L. BORGES :** Sans doute y a-t-il du dilettantisme dans ces Fictions, jeux de l'esprit et exercices de style fort ingénieux. Pourtant, le pluriel signale d'emblée qu'il s'agit d'une réflexion sur la richesse foisonnante de l'imagination. Au nombre de dix-huit, ces contes fantastiques révèlent, chacun à sa manière, une ambition totalisante qui s'exprime à travers de nombreux personnages au projet démiurgique ou encore à travers La Bibliothèque de Babel, qui prétend contenir l'ensemble des livres, existants ou non. La multitude d'univers parallèles et d'effets de miroir engendrent un "délire circulaire" vertigineux, une interrogation sur la relativité du temps et de l'espace. Dans quelle dimension sommes-nous ? Qui est ce "je" qui raconte l'invasion de la cité dans La Loterie de Babylone ? En mettant en vis-à-vis le Quichotte de Ménard et celui de Cervantès, lit-on la même chose ou bien la décision de redire suffit-elle à rendre la redite impossible ? Il n'est pas certain que l'on ait envie d'être relevé du doute permanent qui nous habite au cours de cette promenade dans Le Jardin aux sentiers qui bifurquent. On accepte volontiers d'être les dupes de ces Artifices, conçus comme le tour le plus impressionnant d'un prestidigitateur exercé. **Présentations d'auteurs** Camille se charge de brosser une courte biographie de Borges , merci à lui ;) ! Je tente d'en faire de même pour Barthes. Petites tentatives d'approche de ces deux grands afin de mieux éclairer/contextualiser les deux œuvres proposées. **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr/e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres et d'être présent/e le jour J. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre, discuter, autour d'un verre !
