This scientific blog focuses on the works of Poitiers University’s FoReLLIS B2 team on the history and poetics of literary genres. Under the leadership of Pierre Loubier, the FoReLLIS B2 team—composed of scholars specializing in the issue of “genres”— has explored the historical and theoretical aspects of transgenericity, as wells as several generic forms including: sonnets; Raymond Queneau’s “morale élémentaire” (a genre derived from the Oulipo); dramatic monologues; and essays. More specifically, the B2 Team’s scientific project over the period 2018–2022 aims at uncovering the role played by genres in the way literary works are read and received. For this collaborative project, the 30 team members meet regularly for dedicated seminars at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société in Poitiers, participate in colloquiums and conferences; and contribute to various publications.
