Abstract

Loin des pamphlets, des manifestes, des grands essais, discours et manifestations, l’engage­ment de certains écrivains français contemporains prend de nouvelles formes et res­semble parfois à celui des internautes qui, en se dévoilant, se montrent solidaires les uns en­vers les autres. En divulguant leur intimité et en partageant leurs propres peines et crises exis­ten­tielles, des auteurs comme Annie Ernaux, Rachida Yacoubi et Christine Angot contribuent implicitement à transformer le monde et à semer des idées. Leurs écritures intimes, leurs romans auto­biographiques et leurs autofictions ne seraient-ils pas la transcription littéraire, subtile et consistante des désormais célèbres mots-dièse #MoiAussi, #JeSuis, etc. ? Dans cet article, nous considérons de plus près cette forme singulière d’écriture impliquée et la façon dont elle génère (ou pas) des lectures impliquées. Instead of pamphlets, manifestos, essays or speeches and manifestations, the engagement of some contemporary French authors takes on new forms and resembles that of Internet users who, by revealing themselves, show solidarity with each other. By revealing their intimacy and sharing their own sorrows and own existential crises, authors such as Annie Ernaux and Rachida Yacoubi implicitly contribute to transforming the world and sowing ideas. Could it not be said that their intimate writing, their autobiographical novels and their works of autofiction are subtle and consistent literary transcriptions of the use of hashtags like #MeToo and #IAm? In this article, we take a closer look at this particular form of involved literature and how it does (or does not) generate acts of involved reading.
