“…Durant la Renaissance, l’espace marginal s’assimile fréquemment à celui du labyrinthe, figure mythique tant attractive que répulsive, ré-inventée et remaniée à l’envi comme tant d’autres mythes au cours du seizième siècle.

“…The attention often focuses on the problem of the consequences (destructive or beneficial) of postmodern deconstruction regarding the fundamental US myths. The article shows that Kurt Vonnegut in his anti-war postmodernist novel Slaughterhouse-Five manages to create a double code that allows to deconstruct John Bunyan’s important allegorical work The Pilgrim’s Progress, which at one time was an effective means of Protestant religious propaganda, and at the same time to urge readers to return to Christian humanism. …”
