RĂȘver ou penser lâAnthropocĂšne ? Usages de la ruine dans la non-fiction de lâextrĂȘme contemporain
Cet article explore la maniĂšre dont plusieurs Ă©crivains de non-fiction et artistes du rĂ©el de lâextrĂȘme contemporain pensent et figurent lâAnthropocĂšne Ă lâaide des ruines contemporaines. Pour faire face Ă lâinvisibilitĂ© relative et la complexitĂ© extrĂȘme du phĂ©nomĂšne, ils recourent souvent Ă lâemprunt, celui de ruines issues dâautres catastrophes. Par un phĂ©nomĂšne de surimpression hallucinatoire, ils projettent la catastrophe Ă©cologique sur les ruines existantes en rĂ©cupĂ©rant la puissance de lâimaginaire atomique ou lâeffacement idĂ©ologique de la dĂ©saffection Ă©conomique. Ce « catachronisme » (Srinivas Aravamudan, 2013), parti-pris dâun certain nombre dâartistes et Ă©crivains contemporains, fait nĂ©anmoins Ă©cran, en esthĂ©tisant le rĂ©chauffement climatique. Quels usages alternatifs de la ruine sont, Ă lâinverse, mobilisĂ©s par les artistes qui souhaitent cultiver un regard exempt de fascination mĂ©lancolique ? En sâappuyant sur quelques exemples (Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, William T. Volmann, Sylvain Tesson, Pierre Huyghe), nous tenterons de voir quelle ligne de partage se dessine entre esthĂ©tisation et mobilisation des ruines.This article explores how several 21st century narrative nonfiction and documentary artists resort to contemporary ruins to figure the Anthropocene. In order to deal with the relative invisibility and extreme complexity of the phenomenon, artists and writers often borrow from the ruins of other catastrophes. With an hallucinatory superimposition, they project contemporary ecological disaster onto existing ruins, and in doing so, they rely on the power of the atomic imaginary or the ideological void which follows economic crises. This âcatachronismâ (Srinivas Aravamudan, 2013) chosen by some contemporary artists and writers prevents us from understanding global warming, because it aestheticizes the Anthropocene as a mesmerizing post-apocalyptic time. What are the alternative uses of contemporary ruins for artists and writers who have decided to distance themselves from any melancholic fascination? Through a few examples (writers Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, William T. Volmann, Sylvain Tesson, but also French videoartist Pierre Huyghe), we will explore the tension which emerges between the aestheticization and the mobilization of ruins
Le spectre du réel
Le roman de Giorgio Vasta, Spaesamento, prĂ©sente une contradictionâŻ: une description hallucinĂ©e du monde menĂ©e par un narrateur paradoxalement Ă la recherche de la rĂ©alitĂ©. Au milieu des simulacres et des spectres, sâengager aux cĂŽtĂ©s du narrateur de Spaesamento pendant son sĂ©jour Ă Palerme ressemble fort Ă un voyage dans un train fantĂŽme. BaignĂ© dans une atmosphĂšre dâinquiĂ©tante Ă©trangetĂ©, le monde contemporain apparaĂźt, marquĂ© par lâ«âŻindistinctionâŻÂ». Cet article tente dâexplorer comment la spectralitĂ©, Ă la fois matĂ©riau et procĂ©dĂ©, cherche, au milieu des ombres, Ă redĂ©finir Ă un nouveau rĂ©alisme littĂ©raire en Ă©vitant lâĂ©cueil dâune littĂ©rature de lâextrĂȘme, pour retrouver le sens de la mort et avec lui, lâart de raconter.Spaesamento, by Giorgio Vasta, is based on a contradiction: while the narratorâs description of the world around him is hallucinatory his objective is to find a stable reality. Among the simulacra and the ghosts that haunt the contemporary world, we follow the narratorâs stay in Palermo, which is similar to traveling in a ghost train. In this contemporary world surrounded by a disturbing halo, the present moment absorbs every difference and causes a feeling of âindistinctionâ. This article aims to explore how spectrality, which is at the same time the subject and the structure of the novel, works as a tool to suggest that a new literary realism is possible. By avoiding any extreme attempt to manipulate the literary object, it becomes possible to recover the meaningfulness of death and the art of telling stories

Introduction
«âŻLe spectre, câest quand quelque chose dâamoindri persiste aÌ se manifester et aÌ faire signe, aÌ apparaĂźtre de façon intermittenteâŻÂ» rĂ©sume Dominique RabateÌ. Telle est sans doute la meilleure dĂ©finition de cet ĂȘtre changeant, qui apparaĂźt et disparaĂźt, plonge et refait surface pour mieux nous dĂ©ranger et nous interroger. Quand le spectre apparaĂźt, les certitudes se fissurent, pour laisser entrevoir lâinvisible force qui, pointant derriĂšre les apparences, fait tomber les masquesâŻ: qui est a..

Thought, Narrative, Fiction. The Combinatorial Art of Hypercontemporary Ital- ian Essayism (2000-2019)
La thĂšse propose dâĂ©tudier les phĂ©nomĂšnes actuels de contamination gĂ©nĂ©rique entre le rĂ©cit et lâessai dans la littĂ©rature italienne du XXIe siĂšcle, Ă travers la catĂ©gorie de lâessayisme. Elle sâappuie sur les thĂ©ories de lâessai formulĂ©es au XXe siĂšcle, en particulier celles de LukĂĄcs, Bense et Adorno, Ă partir dâun corpus hypercontemporain (Franco Arminio (1960 - ), Vitaliano Trevisan (1960 - ), Tommaso Pincio (1960 - ) et Giorgio Vasta (1970 - ). Si lâessai italien a Ă©tĂ© surtout circonscrit Ă la critique littĂ©raire ou politique, ses nouvelles formes, sur fond gĂ©nĂ©ral dâhybridation entre fiction et non fiction, mettent en crise les catĂ©gories existantes. La thĂšse montre leur continuitĂ© avec la tradition depuis Montaigne, celle dâune Ă©criture rĂ©flexive organisĂ©e par le « je ». Lâessayisme italien actuel mĂ©dite, commente, spĂ©cule, autour dâobjets divers, et sâautorise pour cela de plus en plus le recours Ă la narra- tion et Ă la puissance imaginative. Il est donc Ă©tudiĂ© comme Ă©criture combinatoire et mimĂ©tique qui emprunte des formes aux autres genres (biographie, autofiction, reportage narratif) et puise des procĂ©dĂ©s littĂ©raires dans le rĂ©servoir de la littĂ©rature (Ă©piphanies, allĂ©gories, dĂ©paysements) au service dâune « pensĂ©e en train de se faire ». La recherche montre quâen alliant pensĂ©e, narration et fiction, il fait de sa portĂ©e rĂ©flexive et de la « thĂ©matisation » son pivot organisateur. Elle interroge cette pensĂ©e du rĂ©el et cette Ă©criture critique en les mettant en regard avec la philosophie, lâanthropologie et la sociologie de notre temps, pour montrer que ces formes dâĂ©critures forment un laboratoire du sens et dâinterprĂ©tation de notre prĂ©sent.The dissertation proposes to study current phenomena of generic contamination between the story and the essay in Italian literature of the 21st century, by way of the category of essayism and by drawing on theories of the essay formulated in the 20th century, in particular those of LukĂĄcs, Bense and Adorno, considering a hyper-contemporary corpus (Franco Arminio (1960 - ), Vitaliano Trevisan (1960 - ), Tommaso Pincio (1960 - ) and Giorgio Vasta (1970 - ). If the Italian essay has been often confined to the forms of literary or political criticism, its newest forms, renewable in more general contexts of hybridization between fiction and nonfiction, put existing categories in a state of crisis. The dissertation shows that in continuing the tradition of reflexive writing organized around the âI,â (Mon- taigne), current Italian essayism mediates, comments, speculates around a variety of objects, and in doing so, allows itself more and more to resort to narrativity and the power of the imagination. It is therefore studied as a combinatory and mimetic form of writing that borrows forms from other genres (biography, autofiction, narrative reporting) and draws on the literary reservoir for its processes (epiphanies, allegories, estrangement) in order to serve the âthought in the making.â The research reveals that current Italian essayism, in making allies of thought, narration and fiction, presents itself as an ars combinatoria basing its organizational fulcrum on its reflexive scope as well as on âthematization.â It questions this reflection on the real and this critical writing of the present, through their con- sideration alongside the philosophy and anthropology of our time
