"Inventaire de l'effroi" dans les romans-collages de Max Ernst / L'"inventario del terrore" nei romanzi-collage di Max Ernst

The text analyzes verbal and visual strategies in Max Ernst's collage novels, La Femme 100 Tetes and Une Semaine de Bonte, in relation to the imagery of nineteenth-century French Roman noir. The analysis aims to demonstrate how the visual mechanisms of fear are reworked in Ernst's works, starting from heterogeneous materials.
