| Sumario: | The article presents an essay which argues that prose fiction provides another way of talking about television in contemporary French and is also capable of drawing formal enrichment from the medium which is often considered to be its rival or conqueror. The paper focuses on principal criticisms directed at television by the social theorists. Jean-Philippe Toussaint and Jean Echenoz are contemporary writers who engage in interestingly opposed ways with television’s social and aesthetic impact. |
