Copier-coller Baudelaire : fonctions de la citation littéraire sur les blogs

Abstract

The poems and prose work of Charles Baudelaire are freely accessible on the Internet.

In this article, I consider several explanations for this phenomenon and discuss how the practice of copy-pasting lends to the construction of one’s virtual identity.
