Generic strategies in 19th century journalistic writing

Abstract

A generic approach is essential to understand the way in which, in the nineteenth century, journals affected literature and vice versa. Such a perspective first allows one to grasp what happens when the same textual form is transferred from one editorial medium to another — the change in enunciative frame, the effects of cotextuality and the differences in paratextual agencies lead to a series of disruptions and readjustments that become apparent both in the process of creation and in that ofreception. In a more radical way, circularity between literature and journalism in the nineteenth century bluntly raises the essential issue of the boundaries of literariness — within the miscellaneous and heterogeneous field of journals, only a generic negotiation that is unceasingly renewed can legitimize certain boundary and/or innovative forms, and also ensure a recognition of traditionally attested genres. It is because he created a new form of prose poem within journals that Baudelaire mobilized insistent strategies of generic positioning which, in turn, reveal the originality of his creative endeavour.
