Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the roles played by literary interviews in the construction and the circulation of the author's images in the Press. By alluding to interviews with Turkish writer and Nobel laureate (2006) Orhan Pamuk, the reader is given to see the struggle of power between the writer and the journalist, which plays a considerable role in the conception and evolution of literary creation. This conception is situated for Pamuk between engagement and an ideal of autonomy. Based on the assumption that there exists a relationship between the attribution of a lucrative literary prize and Pamuk's political notoriety (following his 2005 interview where he mentions the Turkish treatment of Armenians and Kurds in Turkey), this paper suggests various criteria for the interpretation of the interview's communicational mechanisms such as the modalities of citation, verbal interaction, choice of rubrics, narration and typography.
