LE DESCRIPTIF DANS L’ŒUVRE DE PIERRE MICHON

Summary/Abstract: Pierre Michonřs work is an illustration of the contemporary generation of French writers, representing an original work, a mixture of erudition and imaginaton. The problematic perspective of this study focuses on description, in some of his filiation novels and biographical fictions. If traditionally, in the realistic novel for example, the description was a detachable piece in the text and this sparked a criticism of this textual strategy, in the modern novel, including Michon, the description is involved in the narrative process. Let's look at the description as means of designating things, to ensure the presence of knowledge on the world in the texts of fiction. In certain literary epochs description exceeding its limits, has invaded whole works, with no other goal than to describe. This has produced the descriptive genre. A theoretical course on the description and the descriptive is necessary before setting out the means by which this 'figure' is accurate in the spatial and chronological construction of Michon's writing.
