The new issue of the journal Interférences littéraires/Literaire Interferencies aims to interrogate what happens to literature when it enters the space of the museum. More specifically, the aim is to propose a first map of the issues involved in the musealization of literature in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, both in terms of discourses and practices. The issue will describe the modalities of a process wich introduces an object – literature – inside an another space. It involves the encounter between two different domains as well as between the agents of these domains, who have their own agendas and inevitably alter, through their activities, the status of literature and our ways of engaging with museum space.
