%0 Journal Article %T Les petits travailleurs du si¨¨cle : Sur Petites natures mortes au travail (2000) dĄ¯Yves Pag¨¨s %A Isabelle Bernard-Rabadi %J Intercambio %D 2012 %I Universidade do Porto %X Many of the fictions of Yves Pag¨¨s claim a taste for political controversy and claims libertarians: Petites natures mortes au travail (2000) is one of them. Composed of 24 short stories, this fiction is written without exacerbating militancy but shows through the mode of fragment new world of work, where workers rush to part-time in entertainment industry. All Characters are contractors, unemployed at the end of Rights and precarious. I will follow a tri-axial plan to show that the writer Yves Pag¨¨s with his serie of painting develops a gallery of the working class of the French at the end of the XXth Century. The first part will explicit the poetic of fragment, the second will draw a provocative portrait of Pag¨¨s and the third will explain the changing world of real work in terms of fiction. %K contemporary French novel %K working world %K job insecurity %K fragment %U http://ler.letras.up.pt/uploads/ficheiros/10598.pdf
