“…We will therefore study three examples of how contemporary fictions devise our interpretative practices and challenges the power relations that lie into critical and theoretical speeches: the reflexive aesthetic of Éric Chevillard that reshapes the reader’s theoretical role, the tension between literary value and the implications of reading in Emmanuelle Pireyre’s books, and the reflection about subjectivation in reading in Arno Bertina’s writing.
