Rabelais et l'hybridité des récits rabelaisiens

Attached to the ideas of impurity, degeneration and sterility in the Renaissance episteme, but valued by the modern and postmodern aesthetic regimes, hybridity is both a subject and a way of the pantagruelic gesture. This volume considers three registers in which Rabelais sometimes conceals the sutures of his poetic cuttings, sometimes shows them the productive tensions. In the generic order, fables, lists, oratory games, prayers and other literary forms create atypical but perennial ties. Fruitful also are the encounters of an intertextual nature, which draw from the most diverse sources (scholarly and popular, ancient and contemporary, French, European and Eastern) and can be observed even in Rabelaisian counterfeits of the nineteenth century.--Translation of resume by http://www.droz.org/world/fr/6458-9782600047319.html.
