Abstract EN:

L'androgynie est envisagee comme condition sine qua non du dandysme. Elle cree la seduction du dandy qui theorise son comportement physique ou intellectuel en psychologie specifique. Au coeur de la problematique, sont examines le dandysme de jules barbey d'aurevilly ou aurevillisme, ainsi que la permanence de figures archetypales liees au destin historique de l'ecrivain dans la premiere moitie de son oeuvre romanesque.

Abstract FR:

Androgyny is sean as a sine qua non condition of dandyism. It is at the source of the dandy's seduction which creates the theory on his physical or intellectual behaviour as far as specific psychology is concerned. The center of the problematic deals with jules barbey d'aurevilly's dandyism also called aurevillisme, as well as with the everlasting aspect of archetypes linked with the historical fate of the writer in the first half of his work as a novelist.
