| Course frequency | Once only |
| Lecturers | Emmanuel Büttler (emmanuel.buettler@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Le roman de Denis Diderot (1713-1784) est porteur d'un ensemble de tendances romanesques du XVIIIe siècle. Roman-mémoires, roman sensible, roman pathétique, roman épistolaire constituent autant de prismes à appliquer à "La Religieuse" pour comprendre l’aptitude du romanesque à devenir une arme puissante dans la main des philosophes, engagés dans une lutte contre l'injustice et la morale étouffante. Fruit d'une plaisanterie, ce roman se mue en projet de combat d'un Diderot révolté, ce qui nous permet d'étudier différentes facettes du siècle des Lumières : la critique cléricale, la condition féminine et les formes de publicité. Le cours proposera différentes perspectives d'interprétation du roman et permettra aux étudiant.es de questionner l'esthétique de Diderot lors d'un exposé oral sous forme de commentaire composé. |
