Abstract

Based on On n'est pas là pour disparaître, Que font les rennes après Noël ?, Toutes les femmes sont des aliens¸ Éloge des bâtards and Futur antérieur, this article proposes to consider the process of reception in Olivia Rosenthal as a narrative form. Viewing movies, but also listening to oral narrations reveal the way in which readers and spectators allow themselves to be influenced or on the contrary resist the phenomena of identification that the narration arouses. Olivia Rosenthal's texts contribute to rethink aesthetic reception and offer a set of interpretative exercises which question the construction of the self, but also the relationship to the other, thus questioning how narrative reshapes both individual and collective ways of sharing experience.
