The paper proposes an interpretation of Michel Houellebecq’s work in the perspective of heroism and victimization, two fundamental, according to J.-M. Apostolidès, categories of the western civilization. Referring those categories to Houellebecq’s discussion with contemporary individualism and its crisis, announced by the French intellectualists and called penseurs’68 by L. Ferry and A. Renaut, the author of the paper shows the presence of post-heroic utopias which are manifestations of humanism reduced to individual and trivial happiness in Houellebecq’s work. In this context, Houellebecq’s work appears to be a form of resistance against the fall of the great heroic tradition. Heroism and victimization enable to associate Houellebecq’s work with the predicament of the retour du sujet (return of the subject) through an ethic of the sacrifice as well as a game with Roland Barthes’ concept of the death of the author.

The paper discuss the concept of “filiation narratives”, proposed in 1999 by the French theorist Dominique Viart, from the point of view of the “spectacularization of the author” (V. Kaufmann) in the contemporary visual culture. On the one hand, in visual culture, the media visibility of the author seems much important that his work. On the other hand, the strictly narrative understanding of the filiation is no longer possible. The example of the non‐narrative filiation which connect a French writer Patrick Modiano and his daughter, singer et writer Marie Modiano, is proposed to show the resistance of the literature against the abuses of the media’s influence to the literary culture.

The starting point of Michel Schneider’s Morts imaginaires, which refers to Vies imaginaires of the Belgian symbolist writer Marcel Schwob, is ultima verba, i.e. the last words that could probably be said by dying writers in various times. However, by choosing to talk about them from the perspective of death, the French author does not want to participate in the  “necrographical”, offi cial discourse of a writer’s death or in the biographical (historical) discourse, which do not respect the personal and singular experience of death. In this way, literary fi ction about the experience of dying, which is here called “necrofi ction” and which is legitimized by a psychoanalytic approach to the imaginary, becomes an alternative to the official forms of discourse about death or life.

The article «"Journal du dehors» et «La vie extérieure» d'Annie Ernaux: l'engagement au quotidien" is an analysis of Ernaux's two texts within P. Bourdieu's sociological perspective. Taking an observation of the surrounding reality, where the narrative "I" is situated, as a starting point, Ernaux distinguishes two types of everyday situations: rituals and individual activities. The former shape mass behaviour which is governed by the political and economic system, whereas the latter - labelled by M. de Certeau as «pratiques subversives» - subconsciously go beyond the norm-established behaviour. Both types belong to popular culture and concern people who are dominated (domines). Taking their side, both word and deed, Ernaux defies the conventional structures she is entangled in by the mere fact of being a writer. Ernaux expresses this defiance in two ways. First, by rejecting the elitist notion of creator, second, through abandoning memory as a source of writing, by resigning from the genre of novel in favour of texts which deal with the synchronic movement of the narrative "I" in the world.

The paper discusses the relationship between Marcel Proust and Jean Cocteau in connection with the problem of their “visibility” (Nathalie Heinich) based on Jean Cocteau’s portrait (1922) of Marcel Proust and Claude Arnaud’s biographical essay (2013). In this context, Cocteau’s drawing, which conveys Marcel Proust’s extravagant character, could nowadays be considered not only a caricatural representation of the author of In Search of Lost Time, but also a demythologizing one, especially in contrast to the image of invisible Proust created by structuralist interpretations. Also, in the mediatic and theoretical contemporary context, Cocteau’s visual representation of Proust could be used to reflect on Proust ’s action (conduite) which, combined with his narrative discourse, defines the “posture” (Jérôme Meizoz) of the author of In Search… within the literary field.

Partant d’un dessin de Marcel Proust par Jean Cocteau conçu en 1922 ainsi que d’un essai biographique de Claude Arnaud publié en 2013, l’auteur de l’article présente la relation entre les deux écrivains en référence à la problématique de leur « visibilité » (Nathalie Heinich). Dans ce contexte-là, le dessin de Cocteau, restant en accord avec le caractère démesuré de Marcel Proust, peut être aujourd’hui considéré comme une représentation caricaturale de l’auteur de la Recherche qui démythifie une image de Proust-écrivain invisible créée par la vulgate structuraliste. Aussi, dans le contexte médiatique et théorique contemporain, la représentation visuelle de Proust par Cocteau peut s'avérer utile pour la réflexion à propos de la « conduite » non-narrative de Proust qui, à côté de son activité discursive, définit la « posture » (Jérôme Meizoz) de l’auteur de la Recherche dans le champ littéraire français.

This article analyzes an essay by the contemporary French writer Philippe Sollers in which Sollers analyzes Marcel Proust’s drawings found in the French writer’s private letters and manuscripts. I draw on Sollers’s notion of “inner experience,” which he, in turn, borrowed from Georges Bataille, and discuss the idealistic interpretations of Proust’s eye/gaze as found in the metaphor of the book as an “optic instrument.” Then, referring to the Derridean category of “the specter,” I analyze the significance of Proust’s drawings for the understanding of his legacy in contemporary literature.

Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie eseju francuskiego współczesnego pisarza, Philippe’a Sollersa, stanowiącego komentarz do rysunków Marcela Prousta pochodzących z jego prywatnej korespondencji oraz z manuskryptów. Wychodząc od zapożyczonej przez Sollersa od Georges’a Bataille’a idei „doświadczenia wewnętrznego”, poddana zostaje dyskusji idealistyczna interpretacja proustowskiego spojrzenia wyrażająca się w metaforze książki-narzędzia optycznego. Następnie, w odwołaniu do derridiańskiej kategorii „widma”, autorka analizuje znaczenie rysunków dla kształtowania się pamięci o pisarzu we współczesnej literaturze.
