Une « critique intégrée » des nous

This article begins with Quintane’s theoretical texts, which formulate the project of “exploding the pronoun ‘nous’ like you dissect a frog”. It observes the way in which this project is realised in six works where enunciative instability puts the elasticity of the pronoun “nous” to the test: it is embodied in illusory communities and carries readers along with it, sometimes despite themselves.
