News item and its fictions

Subject(s):

Summary: Can a book change our minds? The news item gives us to believe it. By asking us about the respective roles of literature, the writer and the reader in contemporary society, he shows us how malleable, changing but above all reversible our opinions are. In this collective rumor that constitutes the circulation of opinions, one voice resonates in particular, that of miscellaneous facts, because they are precisely a favorite moment for sharing and manipulating opinions. The power of conviction of the news item stems from its intrinsically fictional power. And because it is a sequence, sometimes horrible or sordid but always impressive, of unexpected and spectacular adventures.
