Une littérature qui va de soi : cadre contemporain des lettres belges de langue française

Abstract

After the complicated process – in the 70s and 80s – of the belgitude movement, which revindicated linguistic and historical identity, contemporary French-language Belgian literature reaches a maturity in prescinding the symbolic importance of the place of writing, of edition, i.e. of legitimization. Twenty-five years later a new theoretical discussion, new institutions and cultural policies have altered the data which form the framework of French-language Belgian literature.
