Abstract

Pourquoi et comment parler de « contrat » dans l’étude de la littérature ? Qu’implique le fait de définir l’échange littéraire en des termes issus du vocabulaire de la philosophie éthique et du droit social ? Comment comprendre les expressions, couramment utilisées aujourd'hui, de « contrat de lecture », voire de contrat d’écriture ou de réécriture ? Faut-il maintenir la distinction entre « contrat fictionnel » et « contrat référentiel » dans l’analyse du roman ? En répondant à ces questions, les quinze auteurs de Littératures sous contrat mesurent la pertinence du modèle contractuel à sa capacité de rendre compte de certaines ambiguïtés constitutives de la littérature – française et européenne, du XVIIe à nos jours. Placée au carrefour des interrogations portant sur les instances d’auteur et de lecteur, sur la différenciation des genres, sur l’appropriation et la réception des textes, la notion de contrat est ici exploitée et contestée à la fois, explorée dans le cadre d’une appréhension rigoureuse et inquiète de l’échange littéraire.

Abstract

Why did the language of contract become the dominant metaphor for the relationship between subject and sovereign in mid-seventeenth-century England? In Wayward Contracts, Victoria Kahn takes issue with the usual explanation for the emergence of contract theory in terms of the origins of liberalism, with its notions of autonomy, liberty, and equality before the law. Drawing on literature as well as political theory, state trials as well as religious debates, Kahn argues that the sudden prominence of contract theory was part of the linguistic turn of early modern culture, when government was imagined in terms of the poetic power to bring new artifacts into existence. But this new power also brought in its wake a tremendous anxiety about the contingency of obligation and the instability of the passions that induce individuals to consent to a sovereign power. In this wide-ranging analysis of the cultural significance of contract theory, the lover and the slave, the tyrant and the regicide, the fool and the liar emerge as some of the central, if wayward, protagonists of the new theory of political obligation. The result is must reading for students and scholars of early modern literature and early modern political theory, as well as historians of political thought and of liberalism.
