La mimétique de l’imprimé L’écriture du fragment dans les fictions françaises de la Renaissance (1499-1615)

Based on four examples of the display of fragments in Renaissance fictions (Colonna, Rabelais, Barthélémy Aneau, and Béroalde de Verville), this article brings four theoretical models of narrative and scriptural fragmentation into dialogue with each other to give an explanation of an already amply observed phenomenon: the omnipresence of the fragment in the definition of sixteenth-century French literary fiction.
