Abstract

This research visit lies within a wider project, The Observatory of Contemporary Writing, initiated in 2010, having had the book Genèses in vivo as its first tangible result. The volume has started a collection, Écritures du XXIe siècle, proposed by the editor. The present visit aims at sharing the genetic research which has been undertaken so far by both researchers with our students in the most hands-on manner, with the original manuscripts in Brazil. Finally, it is central to point out that Pascal Quignard is a recognizedly acclaimed contemporary French author, central to all contemporary discussions on literature. (AU)
