IngentaConnect Doublures Transcriptuelles: Recits Recrits De Jean Lahougue

Abstract:

Several Post-Nouveau Roman detective stories by Jean Lahougue draw on various «intertexts» by writers such as A. Christie, V. Nabokov, or G. Simenon. In each case, the rewriting strategy is different and complex: it combines intertextual (quotations, allusions, etc.), hypertextual (in G. Genette's terminology), generic (the detective model), generative (Roussellian or Nouveau Roman procedures) as well as meta-parodic (using Nabokov or Robbe-Grillet's devices) types of reactivation. To illustrate Lahougue's multiform modes of rewriting, this study focuses on La Doublure de Magrite (1987) in relation to its declared hypotext, Simenon's La Première enquête de Maigret. Along with this analysis, the study proposes a theory of transcriptualisation by first distinguishing 3 main modes of transformation: transcription, transposition and transformation per se. And second, it proposes an inventory of material (verbal) as well as ideal (i.e. semantic, diegetic, etc.) components which are prone to being transferred, transposed, or transformed within this dialogic interrelation. These mutable elements are presented as transcriptible invariants. For instance, three material aspects are considered: the number, the dimension, and the placement of the transcriptual objects. Finally, following Genette and Barthes' categories, various examples are used to illustrate the other four major narratological parameters (the spatio-temporal or diegetic setting, the action or proaïretic code, the narrative voice, and point of view) which, combined with the three main transformational modes and the three material criteria, can give an overview of the diverse possible cases of transcriptualisation.
