| Résumé: | Quignard’s Petits traités is a work of and about studies. It is closely linked with the cultural field through what it has to say about literary studies, through the way it defines them with its own specific approach, on the margins of official practices. It is also closely linked with the question of learning, of training, of exercising language, and therefore of thinking, or at least of a certain, speculative, form of thinking. Reading this work brings us back to the question of literary studies in general. Petits traités confronts two dominant views of studying, which map onto two different conceptions of education. The first is inherited from childhood; it therefore maintains the elementary cultural violence of school and identifies with a regime of scholarly servitude. The second is a literary practice; it is therefore a free activity, combined with a search for something: exploring a noetic object which, resistant and approachable all at once, requires an attempt at intensively appropriating knowledge and learning. In the context of a body of works that has gained major recognition, including in the academic sphere, by an author whose status is now fully established in the current literary world, Petits traités allows us to question the evolution of literary studies themselves. |
