| Summary: | Simultan ment sujet et objet de multiples d bats et controverses, Jean-Jacques Rousseau n'a jamais cess de produire et de susciter des diff rends, qu'ils soient personnels ou philosophiques. Auteur proprement en conflit avec son si cle, le Citoyen de Gen ve intervient dans l'ar ne publique en prenant partie dans d'importants d bats id ologiques: ces querelles qui ont structur le champ litt raire et politique sont l'objet de ce livre. On y analyse le r le et la force de la pol mique dans les oeuvres de Rousseau. Prenant Les Confessions rebours, cette tude met au jour un autre Rousseau: non la victime passive et innocente d'une r ception hostile, mais un acteur majeur de ces conflits, c'est- -dire un crivain pol mique.<br><br> Jean-Jacques Rousseau crivain pol mique focuses on the ways in which Rousseau's career was constructed in a constant engagement with the practice of polemics and refutation in the fields of politics, religion, and philosophy. Known throughout Europe for his highly controversial writings and for the intense polemics to which they gave rise in the realm of public opinion, Jean-Jacques Rousseau became in his lifetime the object of unprecedented public interest and scrutiny. The very public quarrels and controversies that accompanied the publication and reception of his works were instrumental in establishing a new role for the writer, making Rousseau an ideal case study for this major shift in the relationship between writers and a rapidly changing and newly dynamic public sphere. |
