Les listes dans l'œuvre de David Feinberg : un cas de « vulnerable form » ?

Abstract

How does vulnerability show in the text? Fragmented writing (and sometimes even interrupted writing) seems to be one way it does. The lists that can be found in David Feinberg's works are an extreme example: an American writer who died of AIDS-related complications in 1994, Feinberg frequently interrupts the narrative flow of his autofictional novel Eighty-Sixed and his autobiographical collection of essays Queer and Loathing with the insertion of enumerative vignettes which undoubtedly partly aim at tripping certain readers up. What is the status of those lists? How can one read them? Does one read them? Who authored them? How do they express Feinberg's double vulnerability? Is there a special bond between the listing effect and authopathography / death / memory?
