From gilets jaunes to general strikes, France's streets have become a theatre of dissent for thedisregarded and downtrodden, whose high-visibility jackets ultimately constitute a call to be seen.Outside the country's globally connected cities, in the banlieue and beyond, can be found a populationwhich feels invisible, but which has begun to protest. Pushed to the side-lines by post-industrialcapitalism, in a country that has long been bureaucratically centralised, the inhabitants of this "Francepériphérique" are marked by a political marginality that raises questions of democratic and aestheticrepresentation. Recent French fiction has not shied away from interrogating the shadow cast by neo-liberal expansion, and the pervasive sense of alienation that accompanies it. My thesis explores how thecontemporary novel brings into focus the lives that have been discounted in the socio-economic situationwhich has dominated France since the turn of the twenty-first century. Through the lens offered by thephilosopher and anthropologist Georges Didi-Huberman, I seek to examine how literature, itselfincreasingly marginalised in the cultural marketplace, represents these endangered existences atFrance's edges and offers potential forms of resistance to their effacement. I ask how, as afundamentally figurative genre, the novel's visual dimension enables its heuristic potential, as well as itsempathetic and ethical force, and how the fictional images it portrays bear implications for democraticparticipation and social identity.

从镀金长袍到大罢工，法国的街道已经成为被忽视和被压迫者的异见剧场，他们的高能见度夹克最终构成了一种被看到的呼声。在这个国家的全球联系的城市之外，在郊区和更远的地方，可以发现一群人感觉自己是看不见的，但他们已经开始抗议。在一个长期官僚中央集权的国家，被后工业化资本主义推到了边线上，这个“弗朗西培里式”的居民的特点是政治边缘，这引发了民主和审美代表的问题。最近的法国小说并没有回避质疑新自由主义扩张所投下的阴影，以及随之而来的无处不在的疏离感。我的论文探讨了这部当代小说如何将自21世纪初以来主宰法国的社会经济状况下被打折的生活集中在一起。通过哲学家兼人类学家乔治·迪迪-胡伯曼提供的镜头，我试图审视文学本身如何在文化市场上日益边缘化，如何在法国边缘代表这些濒危的存在，并为它们的消亡提供潜在的抵抗形式。我问，作为一种基本的具象体裁，小说的视觉维度如何使其启发式的潜力，以及它的可悲和伦理力量，以及它所描绘的虚构形象如何对民主参与和社会认同产生影响。
