Nobel Prize laureate Annie Ernaux is a celebrated writer, but she is also seen as a representative of the dominated within society, with all the ambiguities that the term 'representative' entails. While reception of her work remains contested in France, it has to be said that the personal and political agenda that has partly guided Ernaux's work - 'to avenge my kind and to avenge my gender' - is part of a political conception of literature that can take on a prescriptive or incitive value for writers who are class migrants and/or feminists. Through their critical comments, these writers influence Ernaux's way the work is read - by the author as well as by lay readers - granting social usefulness to the aesthetic 'transgression' usually attributed to her prose.

International audience ; This paper deals with the relationships between François Bon's website, Tiers Livre, and the contemporary city. The website is designed "as a city" and visits the various aspects of the urban landscape, trying to grasp its mutations. Travelling from the world of the flâneur to the cyber world of the nomad, Tiers Livre draws a complex urban cartography, which goes from the demolition of former landmarks to the creation of a new order. To express such an hybrid nature, Bon uses digital resources to offer multiple and democratic representations of the city. By collecting everyday images of the urban space, the web-writing shapes fictions of the ordinary, comparing the dystopic representations of modern cities and the utopia of a "digital urbanity". ; Cet article interroge les liens entre le site Internet de François Bon, Tiers Livre, et la ville contemporaine. Conçue « comme une ville », le site explore les différentes facettes du paysage urbain pour en saisir les mutations. Du monde du flâneur au monde virtuel du nomade, Tiers Livre dresse la cartographie complexe d'une ville entre démolition des repères anciens et édification d'un nouvel ordre. Pour dire cette hybridité, Bon met les ressources numériques au service d'une multiplication démocratique des représentations de la ville. En collectant les images ordinaires de l'espace urbain, l'écriture-web crée des fictions du commun, qui mettent en regard les dystopies de la ville moderne et l'utopie d'une « urbanité numérique ».
