| book description |

SimultanÃ©ment sujet et objet de multiples dÃ©bats et controverses, Jean-Jacques Rousseau nâ€™a jamais cessÃ© de produire et de susciter des diffÃ©rends, quâ€™ils soient personnels ou philosophiques. Auteur proprement en conflit avec son siÃ¨cle, le Citoyen de GenÃ¨ve intervient dans lâ€™arÃ¨ne publique en prenant partie dans dâ€™importants dÃ©bats idÃ©ologiques: ces querelles qui ont structurÃ© le champ littÃ©raire et politique sont lâ€™objet de ce livre. On y analyse le rÃ´le et la force de la polÃ©mique dans les Å“uvres de Rousseau. Prenant Les Confessions Ã rebours, cette Ã©tude met au jour un autre Rousseau : non la victime passive et innocente dâ€™une rÃ©ception hostile, mais un acteur majeur de ces conflits, câ€™est-Ã -dire un Ã©crivain polÃ©mique. Jean-Jacques Rousseau Ã©crivain polÃ©mique focuses on the ways in which Rousseauâ€™s career was constructed in a constant engagement with the practice of polemics and refutation in the fields of politics, religion, and philosophy. Known throughout Europe for his highly controversial writings and for the intense polemics to which they gave rise in the realm of public opinion, Jean-Jacques Rousseau became in his lifetime the object of unprecedented public interest and scrutiny. The very public quarrels and controversies that accompanied the publication and reception of his works were instrumental in establishing a new role for the writer, making Rousseau an ideal case study for this major shift in the relationship between writers and a rapidly changing and newly dynamic public sphere.
