Abstract

For making literary studies a decisive tool of its education and national project, France, with some delay compared to other western countries, is now taken to revise the role of literature in all its forming device. The answers it gives to the crisis in the teaching of literature and its social influence differ across levels of education. In compulsory school education (up to 16), there is a consideration of the concept of competence; upper secondary education (16-18 years) had a partial but real renewal in terms of objects and methods in recent years. However, the university appears more conservative and walking towards the invention of “contemporary classics” is hampered by a tangle of factors chief among them the fear of the new and the feeling of the crisis. However, in France as in the rest of the world, it is the ability to draw unprejudiced face future cultural studies is at stake, and through it the development of new objects, new exercises, new methods and a true interdisciplinarity.
