Stéphanie Boulard, Nora Cottille-Foley, Christophe Ippolito and Michael Wiedorn, guest co-editors.The question of fragments is by nature one of enigmas. In the work of many contemporary writers, remains, or traces, are what guides our understanding of the world, bringing about writing and haunting the literary space. It is of course the real, which is discontinuous and fragmentary, that leads us to hermeneutics. Is not every narrative also, and a priori, a montage of fragments whose author has sought to interrupt its interrupting, erase its limits ? Writing would therefore be a thinking of forgetting, of interruption, of broken orders, of misunderstandings, of dislocations, of that which has come undone, of what the author remembers, the dream of the original and unique trace, which (s)he would seek to bring back, despite the trace’s resistance. We propose to reflect upon the originary trace, the unique and enigmatic trace that motivates the very gesture of writing, and to see exactly what might open up in this interval of writing where this trace remains irreducible and unnamable.
