Abstract EN:

This work aims at considering the epistemological problems set by the application of psychoanalysis on literature. The studied corpus is constituted by the french texts of literary criticism that have recourse to psychoanalysis. The work tries to state precisely the characteristics of this type of interpretation and to value the different kinds of truth it can claim to reach, in comparison with the other types of discourses used in criticism and the part played by speech in the psychoanalytical cure.

Abstract FR:

Ce travail vise a reflechir sur les problemes epistemologiques poses par l'application de la psychanalyse a la litterature. Il s'appuie sur un corpus constitue par l'ensemble des textes de critique litteraire ayant eu recours, en france, a la psychanalyse. Il tente de preciser les caracteristiques de ce type d'interpretation et d'evaluer, par rapport aux autres discours critiques et a la parole dans la cure analytique, les formes de verite auxquelles elle peut pretendre.
