Le récit intermédial comme dispositif traumatique dans The Rings of Saturn de W. G. Sebald by Anne-Laure Fortin-Tournès

“…In The Rings of Saturn, the reading process is experienced by the reader in terms of temporal variations. Sebald’s novel is indeed the combination of a narrative and of visual materials — photographs in particular — which sever the narrative thread and disrupt the linear temporality of reading by forming an apparatus which acts as a force of capture capable of performatively transforming our perception of time. …”
