Contents:
Since its beginnings European literature has been characterized by a fundamental debate about the relationship between fiction and history. In his Poetics, Aristotle attempts to categorically separate literature from history with the distinction between probability and truth.
While in the 20th century literary theory emphasized above all the inextricably fictional character of the literary and its autonomy with respect to a 'reality' conceptualized in whatever way, while, conversely, historiography sought resolutely to bid farewell to all literary forms of representation, at the end of the century and in the transition to the 21st century the boundaries between literature and history have been completely remeasured. The seminar will approach this question on different levels: on the one hand through texts from the field of literary and historical theory, and on the other hand through the reading of literary texts that exemplify this new relationship between literature and history. The focus will be on the French author Eric Vuillard with his two novels entitled 14 juillet (2016) and Une sortie honorable (2022). Students are asked to obtain both texts at the beginning of the semester.
