Enjeux et limites %A Jan Baetens %J Cahiers de Narratologie %D 2009 %I CIRCPLES %R 10.4000/narratologie.974 %X Le pr¨¦sent article se propose d¡¯examiner deux aspects majeurs de la rencontre entre litt¨¦rature et bande dessin¨¦e, dont le champ ne peut ¨ºtre limit¨¦ ¨¤ celui des seules adaptations de textes litt¨¦raires en bande dessin¨¦e. D¡¯une part, il propose une d¨¦finition de la bande dessin¨¦e litt¨¦raire (ou du roman graphique, peu importe la terminologie) qui met l¡¯accent sur le concept de r¨¦cit, plus particuli¨¨rement sur le concept de r¨¦cit visuel, pour analyser ensuite quels types de r¨¦cits visuels sont consid¨¦r¨¦s comme litt¨¦raires en bande dessin¨¦e. D¡¯autre part, il d¨¦montre que l¡¯analyse litt¨¦raire de la bande dessin¨¦e peut aider consid¨¦rablement ¨¤ renouveler l¡¯¨¦tude de certains aspects de la th¨¦orie narrative, notamment dans le domaine du discours autobiographique et des techniques du feuilleton. This article deals with two crucial aspects of the encounter between literature and comics, which cannot be reduced to the mere problem of the adaptation of literary texts in comics. On the one hand, it offers a new definition of the literary comics (or graphic novel, although this kind of terminological discussions will be avoided here), which puts a strong emphasis on the concept of storytelling, more precisely of visual storytelling, and it analyzes which types of storytelling may be considered literary in the comics field. On the other hand, it argues that the literary reading of comics may prove dramatically helpful in the elaboration of new ways of interpreting narrative theory, for instance in the domain of autobiography as well as in the domain of the instalment techniques. %K graphic novel %K autobiographie %K bande dessin¨¦e %K feuilleton %K polyphonie %K roman graphique %K XXe si¨¨cle %U http://narratologie.revues.org/974
