Les chamanes contemporains – figures d’instabilité
Journal Title: Quêtes littéraires - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 6
Abstract
"Contemporary shamans: figures of instability" ABSTRACT: Antoine Volodine and Christian Garcin both make a distinctive use of shamanism in fictional novels. By multiplying shaman characters and intertwining the shamanistic principles and the narrative, they develop a poetic of instability noticeable through various hybridization processes notably strengthened by the intrusion of supernatural elements. The analysis of three motives in which this game of unstable balance is particularly mirrored – identity, History and fiction – shall turn our attention to the role of shamanism as a vector of fictional dynamism.
