This article aims at making a survey of these inputs through the analysis of …

Traces autour de la mémoire. Configuration et fonction de l’attente dans l’œuvre de Georges Perec
2022
Restituire la complessità del reale superando la crisi del linguaggio all’indomani del secondo conflitto mondiale rappresenta per Georges Perec il fine di una nuova letteratura che sia capace di interpretare il suo rapporto con il reale attraverso forme inedite.

Questo lavoro non intende quindi solo sottolineare l’importanza della scrittura di Antelme nella definizione del Perec più maturo, ma vuole anche dimostrare quale sia stata la funzione di Un Homme qui dort nel p…
