To relate, to read, to separate : a poetics of the collection and a poetics of diffraction

René Audet
Abstract: Within the context of contemporary French and Quebec literature, this paper reflects on the defining traits of a poetics of the collection. This poetics is based on internal structures as well as on the reading of texts.

The notion of diffraction enables me to define in general terms the tension characterizing these texts.
