Les anticontemporains: postures ironiques dans la littérature française du XXIe siècle », Revue italienne d’études françaises

This study aims to apply the concept of antimodernity to contemporary French-language literature, focusing on the self-image that some 21st-century authors construct in their works. To do this, we develop a specific notion, that of “anti-contemporary”, and explore its applications in the field of postural analysis. In the second part of this article, we show how certain contemporary authors clarify their ethos through the exploration of the complex relationship they have with their time.
