Le canoé Une lecture fictionnelle des archétypes de l’Anthropocène

This article results from an encounter between the theoretical archetypes of the Anthropocene (Hoffman & Jennings, 2018) and a fictional text, Odds against tomorrow, by Nathaniel Rich (2014). It ventures to mix academic and fictional registers in a polyphonic text built around four variations. Bringing academic and fictional registers into dialogue through a process of creative writing makes it possible to go beyond the role of fiction as mere research material and to question the contributions of such “fictional writing under theoretical constraints”.
