Abstract
A Fictional Lie and the Truth of Fiction: Rereading Le village romanesque The author criticizes the approach she used in a 1980 study entitled Le village romanesque on two main points : the proof of the "fictional lie" and the use of literature as evidence of a novelist's social position. Attributing fictional lie down to the difference between village monographs and literary creation has resulted in underestimating the force of currents of thought that, in the 1950s, united the social sciences and literature through a nostalgic relationship to the rural world. The way this nostalgia is put into words depends both on an author's distance from the rural world and on his position in the world of literature. What remains to be done is a sociology of nostalgia that would analyze "dwelled" spaces in cities as well as in the countryside.
