Le «récit de filiation» contemporain et l’absence des (re)pères
The Contemporary “Récit de Filiation” and the Absence of re(Fathers)

Summary/Abstract: The object of this study is to ausculate the relation of tension and seduction that weaves the contemporary narrator with the paternal figure absent, excluded or lost. Through La Place (Gallimard, 1983) of Annie Ernaux and Vies minuscules (Gallimard, 1984) of Pierre Michon, we will try to emphasize intra-family links by showing how today’s literature wishes to move his investigations with human and social sciences subject’s. The two texts of our corpus are amply representative of the advent of this emerging literature, thus demonstrating, each in his own way, a desire to renounce an old literary tradition (from Homer to Rouaud via Sartre and Camus) who is interested in narrative / father relations. The novelty of these books is that they are distinctive symptoms of our time. Above all, they enable us to express a sense of discomfort of the postmodern writer.
