Description
Summary:The article offers a reflection about the adventure of writing a literary text. It also tries to investigate why non literary readers have such difficulty to be aware of the writing game which implies a deconstruction and reconstruction of the standard language and an aesthetic composition of the whole work. Both operations are entirely specific to the literary text and they determine its cognitive power. Teaching creative writing in highschool might provide the students with an inside view of the art of writing which might contribute to a better understanding of texts.Among others, the following books are considered in the article : V. Descombes : Proust, Philosophie du roman, Deleuze & Guattari : Qu’est-ce que la philosophie, J-M Schaeffer, Petite écologie des études littéraires.
