The Website of Jean-Philippe Toussaint, or Highlighting the Creative Environment

Abstrakt

Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s website (http://www.jptoussaint.com/) distinguishes itself from others due to several characteristic features. Notably, it houses an extensive collection of manuscripts while deliberately excluding any form of literary creation. This analysis focuses on Toussaint’s website within his representative work, Marie’s Cycle (2002–2013). This Cycle, written concurrently with other projects – such as Autoportrait à l’étranger (2000) and Made in China (2017) – exemplifies his autoreflexive tendencies. The website itself was established in 2009. Marie’s Cycle not only exhibits narrative circularity through its textual framework but also underscores Toussaint’s meticulous attention to material and textual forms. Central to this exploration is the prioritization of reader mobility. Similar traits manifest in the structure and functionality of his website. Here, Toussaint embarks on a deliberate quest for digital forms specific to the Internet – an endeavor that resonates with his enduring preoccupation with form. The website employs formal devices intrinsic to the digital realm to perpetuate reading mobility. Moreover, Toussaint’s website serves as an exhibition, and its thematic coherence is centered around the creative process. As an author deeply captivated by backstage processes, he accords significant importance to the creative environment’s material and immaterial aspects.
