This article examines the ambivalence of fiction in Adorable Clio. On the one hand, it is presented as a major theme and a privileged realm within metaphorical space: falsehood, theater, and disguise are systematically evoked to represent it. On the other hand, the generic indeterminacy of the texts, the absence of explicit representation of the conflict and a certain narrative distance indicate a rejection of fiction, which could denounce the mystifying rhetoric of war.

Abstract

This article examines the ambivalence of fiction in Adorable Clio. On the one hand, it is presented as a major theme and a privileged realm within metaphorical space: falsehood, theater, and disguise are systematically evoked to represent it. On the other hand, the generic indeterminacy of the texts, the absence of explicit representation of the conflict and a certain narrative distance indicate a rejection of fiction, which could denounce the mystifying rhetoric of war.

Cet article examine l’ambivalence de la fiction dans Adorable Clio. D’un côté, elle est présentée comme thème majeur et domaine d’élection de l’espace métaphorique : mensonge, théâtre, déguisement sont systématiquement évoqués pour la figurer. D’autre part, l’indétermination générique des textes, l’absence de représentation explicite du conflit et un certain écartement du narratif indiquent un refus de la fiction, qui pourrait dénoncer la rhétorique mystificatrice de la guerre.
