This book delves into the intricate metafictional aspects of futuristic and science fiction novels, situated at the crossroads of information and media studies, possible worlds theories applied to cognitive narratology, critical inquiries into post-humanity, and, more broadly, contemporary French and Francophone literature. It explores the fictional minds of characters and their perceptions of resistance to the anticipated worlds they inhabit, particularly in the works of Pierre Bordage, Marie Darrieussecq, Michel Houellebecq, Amin Maalouf, Jean-Christophe Rufin, Antoine Volodine, and Élisabeth Vonarburg. Furthermore, it investigates how corporal postures serve as a matrix for philosophical quests in novels by Amélie Nothomb, Alain Damasio, and Romain Lucazeau.
In a critical approach from the fictional readers' perspectives, this book challenges the traditional formulations of writing mythologies, such as the metaphors of the book (the book of life, nature, and the world). It prompts a reevaluation of the concept of humanity within its boundaries. By drawing upon the rich tapestry of French philosophical tales by authors like Cyrano de Bergerac and Voltaire, this book offers a fresh perspective on the mythologies of writing, shedding light on the complexities and nuances of the literary landscape.
