The works of Jean de La Fontaine have invited an extraordinary variety of readings in the three centuries since their composition. By engaging selected fables and tales with contemporary notions of intertextuality, reader reception theory, and grammatology, Figures of the Text raises questions about what "reading La Fontaine" meant in the 17th century, and what it means today.

La confrontation des données recueillies à partir de sources documentaires aussi différentes que des archives comptables et les vestiges archéologiques d’un système minier, constitue la clef de voûte de cet ouvrage consacré aux Documents d’Archéologie Française mines d’argent du duc de Lorraine dans le Val de Lièpvre entre 1512 et 1628 (Haut-Rhin). Cette démarche originale nous conduit, à travers le dédale d’un réseau complexe de galeries et de puits, vers la découverte non seulement d’une organisation spatiale rationnelle accompagnée de techniques de construction et d’exploitation spécifiques, mais également des conditions économiques et politiques ayant favorisé son développement. Alliant ainsi histoire et archéologie, cette recherche représente pour la connaissance des mines et de ses techniques, un document d’une grande richesse d’informations à l’usage aussi bien des spécialistes que des néophytes. The juxtaposition of data from sources as widely differing as account-books and the archaeological remains of a mining System is the keystone of this work devoted to the bistory of the Duke of Lorraine’s silver mines in the Lièpvre Valley (Haut-Rhin) between 1512 and 1628. This original approach takes us through a labyrinth of shafts and galleries towards the discovery both of a rational spatial organization, using spécifie building and extraction techniques, and of the economic and political conditions which encouraged its development. This study, at the crossroads of bistory and archaeology, constituiez a precious source of informations both for specialists and for newcomers to the bistory of mining and its techniques.
