Paul Bonnetain, a naturalist writer known for his many provocations and scandals, is entrusted with a mission to the Sudan in October 1892 by the Ministry of the Colonies and the Ministry of Education. Following a nine month trek through often hostile lands, accompanied by his wife and their daughter, he returns to the metropolis with many documents, fruits of his observations. Yet there remains no trace of the content of his official rapport, nor of a volume announced in the press. Only a few photographs surface. Could the reason be the ministerial censure that Bonnetain claimed to be victim of? The fact remains that, as though to evade an official proscription, a travel book is published under the name of Raymonde Bonnetain as well as a collection of short stories and prose poetry signed Paul Bonnetain. These very rich and complementary texts raise many questions, especially with regard to their status: literary work, simple testimony or genuine authentic document? It is these suggestions and their possible combinations, that this article intends to explore.
Keywords: Africa, Afrique, colonialism, colonialisme, travel writing, récit de voyage, realism/naturalism, réalisme/naturalisme, literary collaboration, collaboration litteraire.

Branko Milanovic is one of the leading world specialists on inequality. An economist at the World Bank, he’s been dealing with issues related to income distribution for decades. In a book published this year, {The Haves and the Have-Nots}, he manages to make complex ideas about inequalities within individuals, nations and globally accessible to a wide audience. In it, his essays on these topics are illustrated by audacious and very original « vignettes » in which he answers fascinating and diverse questions such as: Were affluent Romans comparatively richer than today’s super riches? Does the place where you are born influence the revenue you will generate over a lifetime? What did Anna Karenina get for falling in love? Will China survive by the mid-century? Who has the richest person in the world been? Feeding his reflections with the findings of Vilfredo Pareto, Karl Marx, Alexis de Tocqueville, John Rawls or Simon Kuznets at a time when the issue of inequality has become so important, his book enlightens us on a topic that is both ancient and captivating. Branko Milanovic has answered Sens Public’s questions.

Mikhail Bakthin, the great Russian theoretician of the novel, did not have the opportunity - for short-term reasons - to analyze in depth the work of Marcel Proust. In this article, written as a contribution to the colloquium “Bakhtine / Proust, glances crossed”, organized by Tatiana Victoroff and Luc Fraisse at the Gorky Institute of Moscow (October 2019), it is a question of this failure and its repercussions on the history of literature, especially for the evolution of literary genres between Dostoievsky's polyphonic novel and the intertexte, post-novel genre whose development implies the recognition of In Search of Lost Time as an intermediate narrative genre, the autofiction.
