%X R¨¦sum¨¦: Dans cet article sera interrog¨¦e la mani¨¨re dont l¡¯image fixe est capable de repr¨¦senter le flux temporel, ce qui repr¨¦sente, on le sait, un trait d¨¦finitoire essentiel de la narrativit¨¦. A cette question, qui nous obligera ¨¤ invoquer la collaboration d¡¯un interpr¨¨te construisant un parcours de lecture dans, entre ou au-del¨¤ des images fixes, s¡¯ajoutera celle, plus complexe, de savoir quel type de temporalit¨¦ sera produite par le r¨¦cit en image. On commencera donc par rappeler que le r¨¦cit est, par d¨¦finition, non seulement la repr¨¦sentation s¨¦quentielle d¡¯une s¨¦quence d¡¯¨¦v¨¦nements, mais que cette transformation est susceptible s¡¯ins¨¦rer dans une intrigue. Ici encore, l¡¯intrigue peut ¨ºtre prise dans deux sens oppos¨¦s suivant que l¡¯on consid¨¨re cette derni¨¨re comme une repr¨¦sentation intrigante orientant la r¨¦ception en direction d¡¯un d¨¦nouement incertain, ou alors comme une configuration narrative conf¨¦rant sens et unit¨¦ ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦v¨¦nement repr¨¦sent¨¦. Diff¨¦rents exemples tir¨¦s du roman graphique Watchmen serviront ¨¤ illustrer ces diff¨¦rentes modalit¨¦s de la narrativit¨¦ iconique, qui fonctionnent souvent de mani¨¨re conjointe.   Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore how fixed image succeed in representing temporal flux, which is one of the definitional features of narrativity. To deal with this question, we¡¯ll have to take into account the participation of an interpreter building a reading course inside, between of beyond fixed images. The question will also to define which kind of temporality will be produced by iconic narratives. Indeed, narrative is not only the sequential representation of sequential events, but also events transformed by their emplotement. Here again, plot can be understood in two different ways: it can be a puzzling representation whose aim is to orient the attention of the interpreter toward an anticipated but uncertain resolution, or it can be viewed as a configuration conferring meaning and unity to the narrated events. Examples gathered in the graphic novel Watchmen will be used to illustrate these different modalities of iconic narrativity that often work jointly.
