- Additional information
- Fredric Jameson notes the end of the national allegory in the Global North whilst stressing its importance for the Global South. Our text challenges this point of view by arguing that Jérôme Ferrari’s novel Le Sermon sur la chute de Rome can indeed be read as an allegory. Whilst the text apparently reflects a discourse of decline and decay, a second reading shows that the author engages with what can be called a Palimspsestic memory and noeuds de mémoire (knots of memory) rather than lieux de mémoire.
