Abstract
PONS, Anaclet. Cardenio à la Chartier. Continuity of the Work, Textual Diversity. Prismas [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.2, pp.223-231. Epub Nov 05, 2022. ISSN 1852-0499. http://dx.doi.org/10.48160/18520499prismas26.1312.
Taking as a starting point his work Cardenio, the article explores the concept of “work” in Roger Chartier, with the aim of analyzing the circulation of his extensive bibliography. This includes not only books, articles, interviews, reviews and different paratextual instances, but also numerous compilations of texts that, after a very meticulous editing work, he composes and recomposes in different languages with new titles and publishers. Between the dissemination of texts and their systematic reunification in recueils, there is, in short, a tension between the idea of “book” and “work”. If, as Chartier himself states with regard to the case studies he has investigated, “authors do not write books”, but “works, discourses that others -publishers, printers, typographers- transform into books”, the question arises as to what happens to his own “work”: is Cardenio his first and only book?
