Cette thèse entreprend de lire l'œuvre d'Émile Zola au regard d'une poétique de la révélation psychophysiologique. Elle tente de saisir la structure, scientifique et imaginaire, des rapports analogiques et métaphoriques du corps et de l'esprit, qui s'élabore autour de la problématique de l'aveu. L'établissement de correspondances entre le physique et le psychique, entre le musculaire et l'émotionnel, entre l'osseux et le penchant, entre le tressaillement et la passion, entre la saillie et le talent signale l'intérêt boulimique des sciences de l'homme au XIXe siècle pour le parallélisme, la séméiologie et la taxinomie. Il manifeste surtout l'idée d'un langage métaphorique révélateur de l'intériorité de l'individu.

Robert Musil's Novel “The Man Without Qualities” has been classified in many ways: as historical novel, as experimental novel, as psychological novel, as social novel. The essay discusses these descriptions critically by combining three perspectives. First, by considering the remarks Musil made himself on his novel in his diaries, in his essays, and in the novel's draft chapters. Second, by tracing back the answers provided by literary theory in recent decades. Third, by drawing on Carl Schmitt's concept of occasionalism which he originally coined in examining the literary discourse of political romanticism. The essay comes to conclude that “The Man Without Qualities” can be characterized precisely by its occasionalist structure. The endless conversation in the occasionalist society of Kakania furthermore correlates with the structure of an endless – and therefore unfinished – novel.
