Le réseau des petites revues littéraires belges, modernistes et d’avant-garde, du début des années 1920 : construction d’un modèle et proposition de schématisation
Abstract
In this article, the Belgian modernist and avant-garde literary periodicals from the post-World War I period are presented as “a network”. This network shows some remarkable characteristics, namely openness, heterogeneity, apparent solidarity among the different periodicals and its evolution in time. This network has an intertextual dimension - which sees periodicals as a means of expressing and bouncing of ideas - and an interpersonal dimension – which sees literary periodicals as interconnected entities. Several schemes bring this two-dimensional texture to the fore.
