Recent scholarship has posited the experience of migration as a source of creative, experimental possibilities that allow writers to contest fixed forms of identity; it has also questioned monolingual, monocultural understandings of national literatures that yoke one language to one nation. Building on such work, this article considers French migrant writing that breaks linguistic rules and challenges the norms of national literatures by analyzing various attitudes testifying to multilingualism and linguistic differences in the works of Paul Wenz, Didier Coste and Catherine Rey—authors who had embarked upon their writing careers before migrating, who have settled in Australia and who write from a position of stability and permanence. While travel writers use English to nuance their texts about journeys through Anglophone regions, they ultimately do not displace the primary importance of French in their texts. By contrast, the texts of the writers considered herein articulate both unique understandings of linguistic identity and resistance to linguistic fixity as well as innovative narrative strategies to communicate both.

A few years ago, I described myself finding a livelier sense of self by looking up at the windows of the metro as it clattered past the iron wings above me. A corner of city, I wrote, which I had explored so frequently that my unceasing movement within it founded me more than the State-led rationalities that were reshaping the landscape around me. The blinking eyes of the metro cast a gaze that made me feel particularly me amid the ruination of the textures of life that were being smoothed out and boxed in, all the while this city, to which I had repeatedly returned, underwent a massive phase of renovation. What of me was I tied to in that shuddering moment, and what of the city? How did my own turn to translingual poetics relate to my readings in “metro” and mass transportation aesthetics, and where do I find myself now, writing in the constrained distances and proximities of Paris in 2020, when movement to and from—and in and around—the city and the continent more broadly has become all the more difficult for many, and nigh impossible for those living without papers.

This article examines the work of four writers, three men and one woman, to outline the characteristics of a literary trend tentatively labelled littérature de territoires, or “territorial literature”. It then analyzes the authors’ social attributes before discussing the limitations of such an attempt to define a new genre. To achieve its goals, this study limits its consideration to a single novel per author: L’Été circulaire (Circular Summer) by Marion Brunet, En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule (The End of Eddy) by Édouard Louis, Leurs enfants après eux (And their children after them) by Nicolas Mathieu and Rural noir by Benoit Minville. Interviews with the authors and their respective editors supplement the literary analyses proposed herein.
本文考察了四位作家(三男一女)的作品，概述了一种暂时被称为“领地文学”的文学趋势的特征。然后分析了作者的社会属性，然后讨论了这种定义新类型的尝试的局限性。为了达到这个目标，这项研究将其限制在每个作者的一本小说上:马里昂·布鲁内的《循环的夏天》(Été circulaire)， Édouard路易斯的《艾迪的终结》(En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule)，尼古拉斯·马修的《Leurs enfants apr s eux》(以及他们之后的孩子)和伯努瓦·明维尔的《黑色乡村》(Rural noir)。对作者和他们各自编辑的采访补充了本文提出的文学分析。

Drawing on source material from archives and press articles, this article presents the conditions in which the Fiction & Cie collection, published by Éditions du Seuil, was founded by Denis Roche in 1974 and how it subsequently evolved. Imagined by an avant-garde writer, this collection offered a new editorial model that ultimately brought about a reconfiguration of the power dynamics within Le Seuil. It illustrates how, at the end of the 1970s, as Marxist or structuralist theoretical-political debates subsided, space opened up for other approaches to editing and aesthetics. Through the prism of Roche’s editorial practice, the relationship between different forms of aesthetic discourse and editorial logic over a period of three decades is examined. Translated by Daniel Henkel
本文借鉴了档案和新闻文章中的原始材料，介绍了由Éditions du Seuil出版的《小说与城市》系列由Denis Roche于1974年创立的条件，以及后来的发展过程。这本集由一位先锋作家构思，提供了一种新的编辑模式，最终重新配置了Le Seuil内部的权力动态。它说明了在20世纪70年代末，随着马克思主义或结构主义理论政治辩论的平息，如何为其他编辑和美学方法开辟了空间。通过罗氏编辑实践的棱镜，考察了三十年来不同形式的美学话语与编辑逻辑之间的关系。丹尼尔·汉高译

The detective novel has long been described as a form of “authentic” realistic literature (Collovald et Neveu). However, this article analyzes how three contemporary French crime novels—Aux animaux la guerre by Nicolas Mathieu (2014), Seules les bêtes by Colin Niel (2017) and Battues by Antonin Varenne (2015)—challenge and reappropriate conventions of realism. The three country noir novels follow in the lineage of two important traditions of realism, nineteenth-century French classical realism (Dubois) and the social realism of the 1970s and 1980s “néo-polar” (Desnain). Yet rather than anchoring the novels in familiar territory, the authors blur topographical references, create a polyphonic narrative structure and set a horrific tone to provide symbolic and political commentary. The novels thus borrow from magic realism to depict a declining rural and working-class world.
侦探小说长期以来被描述为一种“真实的”现实主义文学形式(Collovald et Neveu)。然而，本文分析了当代法国三部犯罪小说——尼古拉斯·马蒂厄(2014)、科林·尼尔(2017)和安东宁·瓦勒纳(2015)的《战争的动物》(aux animaux la guerre)和《蝙蝠侠》(Battues)——如何挑战和重新适应现实主义的惯例。这三部乡村黑色小说继承了现实主义的两个重要传统:19世纪法国古典现实主义(杜布瓦)和20世纪70年代和80年代的社会现实主义(德奈因)。然而，作者并没有将小说固定在熟悉的领域，而是模糊了地形参考，创造了一种复调的叙事结构，并设定了一种可怕的基调，以提供象征性和政治评论。因此，小说借用魔幻现实主义来描绘一个衰落的农村和工人阶级世界。

Faced with the hermetic interiority of post-structuralist narratives, twenty-first-century French literature tends to turn outwards and explore sociohistorical realities as a fertile source of fiction. In this article, I compare two contemporary writers rarely paired together—Anne Garréta and Leïla Slimani—to consider the enduring importance of discursive paradigms in realizing a sense of self. Although Garréta’s mechanised autobiographical aesthetic in Pas un Jour seems to jar with Slimani’s ethnographic journalism in Sexe et mensonges, I argue that both use heuristic narratives to conduct a survey of female desire whose reality is only legible in literature. Intersecting with narrative theories formulated by Barthes, Jameson and Cixous, this article argues that Slimani and Garréta perform their lived sexual experience through a carefully manufactured textual machine that grants them freedom. Only through the straitjacket of a fictional system can the reader glean the reality of female subjectivities so long obscured by myth.
面对后结构主义叙事的封闭的内在性，21世纪的法国文学倾向于转向外部，探索社会历史现实作为小说的肥沃来源。在这篇文章中，我比较了两位很少搭档的当代作家——安妮·加尔姆萨塔和Leïla斯利马尼——来思考话语范式在实现自我意识方面的持久重要性。尽管garrsameta在《Pas un Jour》中机械化的自传体美学似乎与Slimani在《性与男人》中的民族志新闻不一致，但我认为两者都使用启发式叙事对女性欲望进行了调查，而女性欲望的现实只有在文学中才能清晰可辨。本文与巴特、詹姆逊和西克修斯的叙事理论相结合，认为斯利马尼和加尔萨塔通过精心制造的文本机器来表现他们的性经历，这台机器赋予了他们自由。只有通过小说系统的束缚，读者才能收集到长期被神话所掩盖的女性主体性的现实。
