Figures de l'Histoire et du Temps Dans l'Oeuvre de Rabelais 2011 Lacore-Martin

Description: "Figures de l'histoire et du temps dans l'oeuvre de Rabelais" is a 342 page (plus xvii), 7"x9.5" hardcover written by Emmanuelle Lacore-Martin and published in 2011 by Droz (Geneva). All text is in French. It's in brand new condition, still sealed in the original factory plastic, with no visible flaws. Synopsis:This wide-ranging study analyses the functioning and presentation in Rabelais's fiction of different sorts of time. Part I examines narrative time. After considering problems of genre and narratorial inconsistency, Emmanuelle Lacore-Martin probes the play with temporal markers in Pantagruel and Gargantua, then the contrasting but problematic linearities of the following three books. In Part 2, she investigates Rabelais's relationship to the forms and methods of contemporary historiography. As well as underlining Rabelais's mockery of a number of historians or historiographical practices, she indicates possible commonalities between Rabelais's reflections on history and fiction and those of his patron, Guillaume Du Bellay. Part 3 explores what the author terms ‘fragments d'une poétique de l'histoire’, understood as instances where Rabelais might be said to point towards what a revised practice of history could look like (p. 151). Here she makes a case for the importance of memory, especially collective memory, in Rabelais's fiction, and focuses on place and memorials, the latter notably through a reading of the trophies episode in Pantagruel. The final part of Figures de l'histoire examines human time, cosmic time, and calendric time (which Lacore-Martin, following Ricœur, posits as a third temporal dimension, situated between the human and cosmic ones).
