| Résumé anglais |
White Noise can be considered, in Leclair's terms, as « a systems novel », like Gravity's Rainbow or The Public Burning ; yet, it is also acutely concerned with history in the making and with the fictionalization of the present through its instant recycling by the media. The narrator and protagonist shifts from a total involvement in the present moment to a tragic preoccupation with his individual future after the pollution alert, but he is never able to achieve that « refiguration » which, for Ricceur, constitutes the main strategy to try and beat the aporia of time.
