- 2024.

This paper surveys the whole of Jean-Bellemin-Noel’s theoretical evolution – from genetic criticism through psychoanalysis – recalling the main concepts he put in place: the texts’ unconscious, the unconscious work of the text, autotransference, interreading – and brings to light how, whereas some of these ideas seem somewhat dated, careful analysis can show he anticipates partially the objections that can be raised about this work.
