Abstract:L'Homme précaire et la Littérature is a retrospective look at the work as a whole, from the bisons of Lascaux to Géricault, Flaubert or Lautréamont, which also encounters Marcel Conche, Jacques Derrida, and Pascal Quignard. Revisting three concepts intrinsically linked to the imaginary – the contingent, metamorphosis, and the encompassing – allows us to apprehend this retrospective look.
