Based on the postulate of a disciplinary crossing that corresponds to the mode defined as epistemological, likely to lead to a reconsideration of the scholarly position of a discipline and its foundations (Louis 2013), I propose a reflection that combines principles and methods of the humanities and social sciences with the study of literary and narrative texts. I will focus on the productivity of the notion of “ordinary writings” (Fabre 1993), which I will take up in order to explore two aspects: the process that makes it possible to transform them into literate, scholarly or literary writings, allowing us to go beyond the opposition between these two types of writing. The territory of scholarly production that is defined from the proposed approach thus transforms the border between different disciplines into a space of its own, whose specificities I will try to identify.
