Abstract (en)

Analyzes the transformations that led in the 19th c. France to the creation of the figures of the writer and the artist through the formation of relatively autonomous social universes and fields of production. Observes that the battle that painters fought to free themselves from any form of supreme authority, and to break away from imposed subjects, revealed the possibility of a cultural production completely free from all direction or imperative. Examines the development of the right to self-expression within the field of cultural expression and its extension to the domain of politics and morality (exemplified by Zola's stand on the Dreyfus case).
