Abstract
Let $C$ be a projective curve either reduced with planar singularities or contained in a smooth algebraic surface. We show that the canonical ring $R(C, \omega\_C) = \bigoplus\_{k\geq 0} H^0(C, {\omega\_C}^{\otimes k})$ is generated in degree 1 if $C$ is 3-connected and not (honestly) hyperelliptic; we show moreover that $R(C, L)=\bigoplus\_{k\geq 0} H^0(C,L^{\otimes k})$ is generated in degree 1 if $C$ is reduced with planar singularities and $L$ is an invertible sheaf such that $\deg L\_{|B} \geq 2p\_a(B)+1$ for every $B\subseteq C$.
