Horizons anglophones2-84269-929-7 Questioning “Modernism and Unreadability” means exploring Modernism from the perspective of one of its most problematic effects: unreadability. Modernism is approached through the lens of texts known to be particularly resistant to interpretation-“ borderline” modernist texts which fall de facto under the category of the unreadable, i.e., texts which need to be “unraveled” (Barthes) rather than deciphered. Those texts, now part of the literary canon, raise problems of deciphering/comprehension which defer and displace the question of interpretation. From Stein to Eliot, several canonical texts foil reading, articulation, and commentary. Given its intensity, we need to ask ourselves to what extent modernist unreadability defines a unique historical moment. This latter hypothesis underwrites a polemical notion of literary history as a succession of breaks made manifest by the emergence of radically new paradigms-such as unreadability- through which Modernist writings question literariness from the angle of literalness, and challenge literature-both as a practice and as a historical institution-to account for itself, to justify its procedures and its tacitly or implicitly held beliefs, to deconstruct the very meaning of writing and reading.Literature (General)hermeneuticsModernismunreadabilityliterarymisreadingwreaderly textualityhermeneuticsModernismunreadabilityliterarymisreadingwreaderly textualityLiterature (General)hermeneuticsModernismunreadabilityliterarymisreadingwreaderly textualityAlfandary Isabelle996826Béja Alice1325016Broqua Vincent1325017Bucher Vincent1290585Cazé Antoine1294243Costello Bonnie1176720Delourme Chantal1320746Ducroux Amélie1283951Duplay Mathieu1322518Garnier Marie-Dominique1286387Kalck Xavier1283498Lamiot Enos Christophe1325018Lang Abigail1288950Latham Monica1325019Nesme Axel1324597Perquin Jean-Charles1325020Reynes-Delobel Anne1289369Savinel Christine1283502Schmidt Michael167727Wedell Noura1308667Alfandary Isabelle996826Nesme Axel1324597FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910552973803321Modernism and Unreadability3036499UNINA
