Riancey

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Riancey only in connection with his amendment on the press. According to him, this text bans the serial novel (roman-feuilleton), which mixes history and fiction. It forces serial writers to choose between history and the novel, on pain of fines12. He returns to it mainly in his close reading of Nerval's "Angélique", a novella governed throughout by this constraint3. He ties the amendment to a political context: it targets serial novels read by the public of the barricades4. He cites it in the 2017-2018 sessions on Nerval, then in his 2020 interview introducing the workshops2. He mentions it again in 2021, in a session where he brings together Bach, Nerval and Lévi-Strauss5. From one session to the next, he presents the amendment the same way: the law requires historical narrative to be kept apart from fiction, and Nerval writes under this constraint.
