The present article explores how reality TV, as portrayed in Aurélien Bellanger's novel Téléréalité, reflects the transformations and perceptions of television as media. Bellanger's text uses reality TV to examine the links between reality and representation and proposes a study of how this type of media influences, and is influenced by, contemporary social and cultural dynamics. The novel is presented as a saga tracing the evolution of television from a mass media to an all-inclusive cultural phenomenon, illustrating its capacity to model and reflect society. Accordingly, this article discusses the aesthetic and ideological aspects of reality TV, highlighting its role in the construction of television reality and its impact on collective and individual identity. As well, it underscores television's shift to digital and interactive formats, marking an additional stage in the evolution of media narration. Reality TV is analyzed not only as a reflection of society, but also as an active agent in the creation of new forms of media reality, thereby offering a perspective on television as a media that is permanently reinventing itself.

À la suite de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, les appels à la citoyenneté mondiale se heurtent aux demandes croissantes de loyauté nationale et de patriotisme. Plusieurs États indépendants ou nouvellement formés élaborent des définitions de la citoyenneté selon des aspects idéologiques, religieux ou non-territoriaux. À l’opposé, la Charte des Nations Unies (1945) et la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme (1948) proposent des allégeances et des affiliations planétaires.

Dans le contexte du totalitarisme et d'autres formes de colonialisme, l'allégeance à l'État constitue une transgression du contrat civil : l'acceptation implicite des violations des droits de l'homme et des droits civils commises dans les quêtes vers l’allégeance …

AbstractA great admirer of Russian fiction in the 1920s, Bataille carefully read two of Dostoyevsky's intercessors in France: Thibaudet and Gide. The first, who also developed potential pathways for Bataille's literary enterprise, highlighted the issue of patricide—and the debasement of parental figures was to be a constant in Bataille's fiction. The second emphasized the opaqueness of Dostoevsky's characters, their excesses, a certain tendency towards the “formless”, and the narrative entitled Notes from Underground, all features Bataille would retain. But what ultimately counted for him was Chestov's 1923 reading, in Les révélations de la mort (The Revelations of Death), of Notes from Underground and his analysis of the underground man: of this analysis, “Dirty” would be at once narration and narrative excess.
