Abstract

Modernity in literature was very early associated by its founding father in France, Baudelaire in particular, with a congenital defect: mistrust of the dogmas constituting its principle − progress and novelty. Starting from the idea that it is less a total break than a criticism, this article considers the postmodernity which appeared in the 80s, as a continuation of this challenge to the regime of the historicity of modernity. Resting on a threefold-dimensional analysis, this paper explores the worldview, the question of the subject and the problem of representation.
