Abstract
The writer Aymeric Caron, a well-known figure in the general publicand now a member of the French political sphere, allows us to understand literary engagementfrom a completely new perspective. If this expression has long been associated with Sartre’s philosophy, it is clear that the dialogue between literature and the world has since been transformed. While taking a step back in the history of literary engagement in France (with the help, among others, of the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault), this article proposes to understand in what way(s) a controversial author like Aymeric Caron establishes a coherent continuity between his works and his militant life. One question will accompany us throughout our reflection: can literature be both fictional and active at the same time, without losing anything of its essence?
