Stratégie et tactique urbaines dans Les Saisons de Louveplaine, de Cloé Korman

Abstract

In this article we propose an interpretation of the ways space is represented in Cloé Korman’s “roman de banlieue” Les Saisons de Louveplaine (2013). Considering Michel de Certeau’s critique of urban life, we consider the imaginary banlieue of Louveplaine as a space which is constantly read and written by its inhabitants. This enunciation of the space sometimes takes the form of a detective story, sometimes of a fantastic tale, and it seems inextricably linked to the character’s pedestrian paths.
