Abstract

Based on Jérôme Meizoz’s considerations about the concept of author’s posture, this paper aims to analyse the authorial acting undertaken by Louis-Ferdinand Céline notably in the scope of interviews public space, referring to its spillover in his literary works. Emphasis will be placed on an odd retroactive effect observed by Meizoz, in which author’s persona featuring in his works seems to determine the writer’s behaviour as a civil instance. Such reshuffle of authorial instances would have a fundamental role in the creation of Céline’s personal mythology marked by a self-denial movement.
