Paratextes et journal non intime: le Journal d'une époque, de Denis de Rougemont

Paratextsand the unintimate diary : Denis de Rougemont's "Journal d'une epoque". ; The diary as a genre keeps the distinctive characteristics of regular entries ans focus on the writer. That the genre does not exist in a pure form induces the study of Rougemont's "Journal", a reedition of other diaries whose quasi-oxymoronic titles combine the generic (Journal) with the thematic (d'Allemagne, etc). Other paratextuel elements show the conscious creation of a hybrid to inscribe the interaction between the individual and the collective, in harmony with Rougemont's personalism.
