Summary/Abstract: Writing with Animals: The Unexpected Choices of Barbey d’Aurevilly. In the pages of Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly, the presence of animals makes it possible to rethink the forms of scriptural cohabitation of humans and non-humans at a time when the appeal of science contributes to the development of a growing culture careful of a now problematic impact on nature. The resulting awareness influences the creative approach and practice that position themselves between the crystallizations and the metaphorical correspondences of the features of the living. This study aims to analyze the most questionable aspects of animal identity codes – especially reptiles – and their changes in order to escape the prejudice that manners and tone of the conversation may imply.
