Fiction et hypertexte : Michael Joyce, Foucault, in Winter, in the Linnaeus Garden, une théorie du fragment imagée

Abstract

Digital technology allows literary analysis and theory to develop new creative approches. Michael Joyce, better known for his works on electronic literature built on hypertextuality, developed an epistolary printed novel in his last book Foucault, in Winter, in Linnaeus Garden. He imagines letters that the French intellectual Michel Foucault would have written during a professional episode in Sweden. His literary experiments with software have deeply inspired the writing of this novel and how it is composed.
