Fictional autobiographies of a Belgian writer, Véronique Bergen, describing fates of outstanding characters albeit marginalised by history (Kaspar Hauser, Ludwig II of Bavaria, Ulrike Meinhof), may be interpreted as a metaphor of a contemporary man’s fate, a man caught, often against his will, in a course of political or social events. The characters described here adopt an active resistance stand against life, the stand defi ned by Bergen in her essay Résistances philosophiques, and manifested by striving to create one’s own, coherent world and a new language. In her reference to G. Deleuze, the author states that the said resistance is not only an act of existence but, also, an act of creation while creation of a new language involves, mainly, building of one’s own “I’. Identity of an individual is entangled within identity of a creator while reflection on language – with reflection on artistic medium.

Referring to anthropological reflections of Marc Augé and his proposed notions of supermodernity and non-places, the article discusses the identity of a contemporary man presented by examples of key novels by a Belgian writer, Jean-Philippe Toussaint (La Salle de bain, Monsieur, L’appareil-photo, La réticence, La télévision, Fuir, La vérité sur Marie). Toussaint’s characters are actually in a struggle against problems defined by Augé: lack of one’s own place, time for reflection and, mainly, a need for another human being.

The article proposes a reading of two books by Caroline Lamarche, L’Asturienne and La Fin des abeilles, in the context of a reflection on family memory, which is considered here to be the foundation of the sense of self. The works in question are part of the broad current of autobiographical texts which have proliferated since 1980. Lamarche’s recent books offer an example of original memorial writing anchored in the uncertainty of the present time that seeks its roots and its raison d’être in the past. The article focuses on the poetics of these texts on the one hand, and, on the other, on the way in which the work of memory is manifested here. Anne Muxel’s sociological reflection on family memory complements this analysis by providing the necessary methodological tools. The notions of transmission, reviviscence and reflexivity proposed by Muxel demonstrate the meaning of remembrance, for both individual and community.

L’article propose une lecture de deux livres de Caroline Lamarche, L’Asturienne et La Fin des abeilles, dans le contexte de la réflexion sur la mémoire familiale qui est considérée ici comme fondatrice du sentiment de soi. Les œuvres en question s’inscrivent dans le large courant de textes autobiographiques qui prolifèrent depuis 1980. Les livres récents de Lamarche offrent l’exemple d’une écriture mémorielle originale ancrée dans l’incertitude de l’époque présente qui cherche ses racines et sa raison d’être dans le passé. L’article s’intéresse, d’une part à la poétique de ces textes et, de l’autre, à la manière dont se manifeste ici le travail de la mémoire. La réflexion sociologique d’Anne Muxel sur la mémoire familiale complète cette analyse, en fournissant les outils méthodologiques nécessaires. Les notions de transmission, de reviviscence et de réflexivité proposées par Muxel montrent le sens de l’acte de mémoire, aussi bien pour l’individu que pour la collectivité.

La plus que mère, La Cérémonie des poupées and La Maison de l’âme, the trilogy of the Belgian writer and ethnologist Chantal Deltenre – published in the first decade of the 21st century, illustrates post-modern religiosity, the main characteristics of which are diversity, syncretism and relativism. The search for sacrum is supposed to be a kind of initiation journey undertaken mostly by lost and uprooted individuals. It is a search for a safe and meaningful space (place), which is not just the opposite of the shapeless and meaningless world of profanum, but also one that allows to build one’s own identity.

The theme of the animal in contemporary literature responds to the need to deal with a crisis of the human, brought about by a savage globalisation and commercialisation of life, accompanied by an increasingly threatening destruction of the planet, which man is destroying in his pursuit of gain and undeserved triumphalism. Literature reacts to this destructive action of the Anthropocene and works to restore to nature (including the animal) the presence it has always had alongside man, but which man has disrespectfully underestimated. The article examines the cycle Les Petits Dieux by Sandrine Willems and focuses in particular on the representation of the relationship between the human and animal worlds. The aim is to see how Willems’ writing thematizes the idea of shared space, of the encounter, of the gaze and of the meaning that arises from the crossing of human and animal destinies. Jean-Christophe Bailly’s reflection feeds the analyses presented in the article.

Le thème de l’animal dans la littérature contemporaine répond au besoin de faire face à une crise de l’humain, amenée par une globalisation sauvage et une marchandisation de la vie qu’accompagnent une mise à mal de plus en plus menaçante de la planète que l’homme détruit dans sa poursuite du gain et dans son triomphalisme revendiqué. La littérature réagit à cette action destructrice de l’anthropocène et travaille à restituer à la nature et à l’animal la présence qu’ils ont toujours eue à côté de l’homme, mais que l’homme a irrespectueusement sous-estimée. L’article étudie le cycle Les Petits Dieux de Sandrine Willems et se focalise notamment sur la représentation du rapport entre le monde humain et le monde animal. Il s’agit de voir comment l’écriture de Willems thématise l’idée de l’espace partagé, de la rencontre, du regard et du sens qui découle du croisement des destins humains et animaux. La réflexion de Jean-Christophe Bailly nourrit les analyses présentées dans l’article.

From "Daniel ou Israël" (1987) through "Noir" (2000) and "Une Belge méchante" (2007) and as far as to "La séduction des hommes tristes" (2010) Françoise Lalande’s narratives aspire to give account of the history of human kind, not limited by any specific time or space. In her works, Europe’s history is mixed with history of the world, social with political history, the ancient one describing fate of the Jews with present times, giving account of the events happening before our eyes. The author, convinced of writer’s necessary involvement, reacts to all signs of injustice and brutality so characteristic for the 20th century’s history. Lalande tells us how to live the history playing, according to the author, a key role in creation of our identity. Something that she, as a Jew herself and citizen of the world, is fully aware of.

In her writing, Vera Feyder, representative of the tribe called by the historians of Belgian iterature generation of identity, the question of identity is inextricably linked with the experience of World War II. The memory of childhood marked by the martyrdom of his father and the deep misery and loneliness, in which the author and his mother lived in the wartime, decide on the content and meaning of her writing. A sense of responsibility for other people, all resistance to the injustice, disagreement with indifference, memory of the past – it is a kind of code, which, according to Feyder, should apply a modern writer.

The novels of Vera Feyder are concerned with identity, memory, space and travel. In her writing her characters inhabit past and present, dream and reality. In particular, dreams and aquatic landscapes intersect in various creative ways in her oeuvre. This article analyses the contours of such landscape, understood in terms both internal and external, in two of her novels: Caldeiras (1982) and La Belle voyageuse endormie dans la brousse (2002).
FR
L’œuvre narrative de Vera Feyder est focalisée sur deux thèmes essentiels : la recherche de l’identité et la quête d’un lieu à soi auxquels il faut ajouter la mémoire et le voyage. Ils se retrouvent tous dans le rêve que développent les personnages de ses romans, en voyageant entre le passé et le présent et entre différentes idenités qu’ils arborent toute leur vie durant. Ce rêve est apparenté à l’eau qui constitue la composante majeure du paysage romanesque de Feyder. L’article analyse les particularités de ce paysage qui est notamment un paysage intérieur, et se réfère à deux romans : Caldeiras (1982) et La Belle voyageuse endormie dans la brousse (2002).
