Emmanuel Bouju et al., « Literature on Credit: Fiction and the Fiduciary Paradigm », HALSHS : archive ouverte en Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société - notices sans texte intégral, ID : 10.4324/9781003119456
This chapter argues that the age-old credit metaphor traditionally used to ascertain the value of literature in general and fiction in particular takes a new meaning in contemporary literary production. We witness the apparition of a fiduciary paradigm, whereby contemporary fiction simultaneously: seeks credit for its polemic but heuristic recreation of reality; grants credit to the literary criticism of the “debt narrative” that shapes contemporary social and cultural relationships; and is credited with renewed political agency.
