Abstract: In Un monde sans rivage, Hélène Gaudy relates the balloon journey to the north pole of three explorers at the end of the 19th century. But the temporal difference allows her to take the measure of ethical and epistemological deviations that separate us from this attempt. The writer then thinks her narrative like a supplement to the scientific trip, but which upsets the issues or even which contests the presuppositions of domination and control.
