L’Amour au temps de Facebook : Camille Laurens et le marivaudage hyper-contemporain

Pages 303-310 | Published online: 08 Jul 2022
 

Abstract

This article investigates how literary fiction devoted to love relationships integrates the internet and social media and questions the assumption according to which the virtualization of love introduces new behaviors and new forms of narrativity. In Celle que vous croyez (2016), Camille Laurens builds her novel on the creation by her main character of a fake Facebook profile but also demonstrates that the virtual world does not revolutionize the dynamics of seduction and manipulation or their literary treatment.

She is also the co-editor of Nouvelles Francographies, the journal of the SPFFA (Société des Professeurs Français et Francophones d’Amérique). Her scholarship focuses on reception studies, particularly the reception of French literature and culture in the United States and more recently the construction of French identity through national homages and official ceremonies. Dr. Loucif also dedicates her research to immediately contemporary French and Francophone literature and “popular” culture. She has published articles and given lectures on Linda Lê, Philippe Forest, various TV series, and the French singer Barbara.

Notes

1 Il faut citer aussi Le Roman de l’été de Nicolas Fargues, paru en 2009 (Paris, P.O.L.), Faux profil de Jérôme Dumoulin (2012) (Paris, Grasset) ; plus récemment, Instagrammable d’Éliette Abécassis (Paris, Grasset) et Les Enfants sont rois de Delphine De Vigan (Paris, Gallimard) tous deux sortis en 2021.

2 Ce prix, attribué chaque année par un jury exclusivement féminin, a été créé en 1904 comme contre-proposition au prix Goncourt, jugé misogyne à cause de son attribution à un auteur de sexe masculin plutôt qu’à la favorite Myriam Harry. Il n’est pas indifférent que son attribution à Camille Laurens « lance » véritablement sa carrière d’écrivaine.
