Littérature et savoir. De la flaubertologie quenienne à l’invention du roman by Daniela Tononi

“…The research that Queneau did at the Bibliothèque nationale to write his work on the Fous Littéraires was intertwined with the writing of Derniers jours, Les Enfants du Limon and various theoretical and erudite texts by the Oulipo writer. Through his novels, the analysis of some pretextual documents and the reading of the text on the Fous, only published in 2002 in the original version that preceded its incorporation into Les Enfants du Limon, demonstrate the influence of the Flaubertian model — and of the novel Bouvard et Pécuchet in particular — in Raymond Queneau’s work. …”

“a void rubbing out its own inscription”: Electronic Technology, Hypertext and the Paradox of Self-Erasure by Luke Korzun Martin

“…Where the age of mechanical and industrial technologies led to Blake’s visionary engravings and Swift imagining a random text generator in Gulliver's Travels, “for improving speculative Knowledge by practical and mechanical Operations” (171), the electronic age might be said to have given rise to the work of composers like John Cage and Brian Eno, hypertextual writers such as Michael Joyce and Mark Amerika and the work of the Oulipo. Perhaps the predominant linguistic theory associated with, though not limited to, electronic technologies is that of “hypertext”. …”

La realidad de lo imaginario: El pentágono, una novela patafísica by Sofía Criach

“…Destacando la imaginación, la libertad compositiva, el experimentalismo y el lenguaje como fin de la ficción, se indaga cómo Di Benedetto recurre a la conjetura antimetafísica y al universo de lo potencial, propio de los patafísicos, y a las contraintes del OuLiPo, para crear un objeto literario en el que el sentido juega un rol escurridizo que invita al equívoco y a la multiplicidad de interpretaciones. …”

A Conceptual Mnemotope of Osijek in Jasna Horvat's "Bizarij" by Andrijana Kos-Lajtman, Ivana Buljubašić

“…<p>The novel Bizarij (2009) preserves the cultural memory of the town of Osijek, while recycling faction through fiction just as the author has done in her other novels (Az, Auron, Vilikon) We approach the novel as a post-OULIPO (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle) narrative that shapes a conceptual romanesque structure, primarily as grammatical code for subordinate conjunctions and their dependent and independent clauses in the Croatian language Apart from the grammatical code for the structure of the novel and its conceptualization, as well as its 15 chapters, the novel provides important ties between the narrators and the characters, and their elaborate distribution A key figure is the phantasmagorical character of Isabella von Habsburg, functioning as the novel’s recurrent theme, but also a Lacanian-like point de capiton The conceptualization of the romanesque structure is also achieved by a further elaboration of the symmetry motif, used at several discourse layers in various ways The symmetry exists in the distribution of the narrators’ voices, as a key order of narration The novel has 15 different narrators, and particular importance is given to the interconnection between the characters and the narrators as well as their ties to the socio-historic periods they belong to It is the very order of the characters and/or narrators through different criteria – gender, the historic period, their profession, and their ethnicity – that gives the convincing and credible multi-layered cultural memory of the town of Osijek At the same time, it deconstructs some established notions and prejudices, and yet builds new, possible ways of perceiving the town or its history A distinct, narrative set of methods characteristic for a scientific, lexicographical discourse type additionally proves our ‘reading’ of Osijek as a cultural mnemotope.…”
