Abstract

This article aims to examine Bernard Comment's notebooks through the concept of cinephilia. Comment's novels present dense intertextual networks (including numerous cinematographic references) whose heterogeneity dialogues with that of his notebooks. As vehicles for personal scriptural practices and inquiries related to literary projects in progress, these documents are part of both a memory work and exogenetic processes. A study of the notes devoted to films watched by the author allows to question more precisely their function(s): are they written in order to be potentially included in a future novel? Are they part of an autonomous cinephile practice? Are they stages of a properly cinephile genetic process?
