Summary/Abstract: A zoopoetic approach to the travelogue La panthère des neiges by Sylvain Tesson. The present article aims to explore in broad lines the evolution of French zoopoetics thought and its main directions of research. Unlike the anglophone animal studies, the French zoopoetics is offering a slightly different methodology, much more focused on thematic and narratological aspects. In order to exemplify the paradigm shift produced by the zoopoetic approach in France, we will focus our article on Sylvain Tesson’s travelogue La panthère des neiges (2019). The travelogue, through its referential dimension, marks a transition from the generalizing perspective of the animal world to a specific, local and individual approach.
