Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the question of genetic criticism and forms of archiving contemporary playwriting and, in particular, with the necessity to redesign these archives in a dynamic and reticular way. At first, we recall the uses of genetic criticism in drama studies in order to talk about “playwriting practices.” Additionally, we question the institutional places of archiving contemporary playwriting. Finally and above all, we develop a reflection on online auto-archiving by contemporary playwrights to see how far their new uses of writing with the help of computers and Internet research questions the genetic criticism and invites us to talk about a reticular and rhizomatic model in writing processes.
