Résumé

Au croisement de la sociologie du couple, des études de genre et de la sociologie de la littérature, cet article propose une définition de la notion de couple littéraire. Entendu comme la rencontre d’impératifs partiellement contradictoires (les impératifs de coopération du couple et de singularisation du champ littéraire), le couple littéraire est une institution singulière qui permet d’approcher de manière inédite les changements de postures de Simone de Beauvoir, des années 1940 aux années 1970.

Abstract

At the intersections of the sociology of the couple, gender studies, and the sociology of literature, this article offers a definition of the “literary couple.” Understood as an encounter between contradictory imperatives (that of cooperation in the couple and that of individuation in the field of literature), the literary couple is a unique institution that affords fresh insight into Simone de Beauvoir’s shifting position to literature from the 1940s to the 1970s.
