Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This volume brings together articles published by Christian Berg in both the field of symbolist and decadent literature, as well as French literature in Belgium. The first section focuses on the feeling of decline in writers such as Joris-Karl Huysmans and Max Elskamp Elemir Bourges. From the observation made by Marcel Schwob that everything in this world is only signs, and signs of signs, the author then focuses on the emergence of literature-oriented games of trompe-luil. Finally, the top five Belgian Symbolist writers are read in light of the enormous impact of Schopenhauerian thinking in the nineteenth century.

English summary: This volume brings together articles published by Christian Berg in both the field of symbolist and decadent literature, as well as French literature in Belgium. The first section focuses on the feeling of decline in writers such as Joris-Karl Huysmans and Max Elskamp Elemir Bourges. From the observation made by Marcel Schwob that everything in this world is only “signs, and signs of signs,” the author then focuses on the emergence of literature-oriented games of trompe-l’uil. Finally, the top five Belgian Symbolist writers are read in light of the enormous impact of Schopenhauerian thinking in the nineteenth century. French text. French description: Ce volume reunit des articles publies par Christian Berg aussi bien dans le domaine de la litterature symboliste et decadente que dans celui des lettres francaises de Belgique. Une premiere section s’articule autour du sentiment du declin chez des ecrivains tels que Joris-Karl Huysmans, Elemir Bourges ou Max Elskamp. A partir du constat fait par Marcel Schwob que tout en ce monde n’est que signes et signes de signes, l’auteur s’interesse ensuite a l’emergence d’une litterature-simulacre privilegiant les jeux du trompe-l’oeil. Enfin, les cinq principaux ecrivains symbolistes belges sont lus a la lumiere du retentissement enorme que connut la pensee de Schopenhauer dans le XIXeme siecle finissant. Christian Berg pratique volontiers une lecture lente o- l’attention portee au detail du texte est toujours une facon d’ouvrir le regard sur un au-dela de la litterature. Aussi les textes lus s’inscrivent-ils dans une histoire culturelle large o- les arts picturaux occupent une place de premier choix. Cet ouvrage est offert a Christian Berg par ses collegues de l’Universite d’Anvers, ses etudiants et ses amis a l’occasion de son emeritat.
