| Résumé : | Literary exhibitions have proven popular for the patrimonialization of our literary heritage and its presentation to the lay public. If, in the past, they were often held at more traditional locations, such as writers’ homes or libraries, they are now also being hosted at museums (of, for instance, art, science and ethnography), universities and other cultural organizations. Due to the institutional diversification and the musealization of literature, literary exhibitions are interacting with different museological and epistemological practices, which leads to changes in the configuration of literary exhibitions and to a complexification of their narratives.Thus far, little research has been done to label the different configurations or curatorial practices that can be observed in the current cultural field. This paper, which is part of a larger research project on the patrimonialization of literature (F.R.S-FNRS), will face this terminological void by providing insight, from a transversal perspective, into the theoretical debates surrounding the creation of a typology. It will analyze the correlation between basic design tenets (Roppola) and the positions taken by cultural institutions and curators on knowledge production and learning (Hein, Hooper Greenhill). It thereby takes examples from contemporary exhibitions in the francophone area.Hein, G. E. (1998). Learning in the Museum (1st ed.). Routledge; Hooper Greenhill, E. (1992).
