Cet ouvrage constitue les actes du colloque international Thorie, analyse, interprtation des rcits/Theory, analysis, interpretation of narratives , qui sest tenu lUniversit Paris Diderot-Paris 7 les 12 et 13 dcembre 2008. Ce colloque, qui runissait des chercheurs venus dhorizons trs varis, stait donn pour but dexaminer trois problmes prcis : Dabord, le problme des rapports entre la thorie et lanalyse du rcit (quel rle doit jouer la thorie dans lanalyse du rcit ? quel peut tre leffet en retour de lanalyse sur la thorie du rcit ?) ; ensuite le problme des rapports entre lanalyse et la lecture courante du rcit (le but de lanalyse est-il de rendre compte de ce qui se passe dans la lecture courante du rcit ? les tudes menes sur des groupes de lecteurs empiriques conduisent-elles modifier lanalyse, voire la thorie du rcit ?) ; et enfin le problme de la porte historique et culturelle de la thorie du rcit. This book contains the collected papers of the international conference Thorie, analyse, interprtation des rcits/Theory, analysis, interpretation of narratives, held at the University of Paris Diderot-Paris 7 on the 12th and 13th of December 2008. The conference, which brought together specialists with very different backgrounds, aimed to examine three specific problems: first, the problem of the relations between theory and analysis (What role should theory play in the analysis of narrative? How might analysis affect narrative theory in return?); secondly, the problem of the relations between analysis and everyday reading of narratives (Is the goal of analysis to account for what takes places in everyday readings of narrative? Do studies conducted on empirical groups of readers modify narrative analysis or narrative theory itself?); and finally the problem of the historical and cultural scope of narrative theory.
