Towards a Fiduciary Literature: Inscriptions of the Monetary Sign and (re)Problematizations of Writing in the Works of Tanguy Viel

Main Article Content

Beyond the literary treatment of money as a theme and its influence on characters’ individual lives and social relationships, a significant part of Tanguy Viel’s work questions monetary economics as a symbolic system of exchange in its double dimension, semiotic-structural and socio-symbolic. Said problematization is carried out through the re-interpretation of generic codes and the exploration of the notion of fiction itself, not just as the fundamental principle of the literary text but as the ontological basis of any symbolic exchange. This article suggests that Viel’s poetics offer some of the keys to the evolution of contemporary French narrative in light of its dialogue with monetary economics.
