This dissertation explores from an interdisciplinary point of view the textual impact of globalization processes and their concurrent transformation of the cultural industry in the Spanish-language novel of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Here it is argued that the elimination of barriers to capital flows and foreign investment, in conjunction with changes in intellectual property laws and the implementation of new communication and information technologies, have led to the creation of multinational media conglomerates able to restrict the choices made by individuals on not only of what can be read, but also what can be listened to and watched. This work defends the idea that the metafictional frame found in works by the Chilean Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) and the Spaniard Enrique Vila-Matas (1948) epitomizes a novel approach to transnational writing. In their narratives, both authors portray and resist globalization by proposing a bricolage of stateless literati scattered across the globe in search of enigmatic writers, tantamount in my interpretation to out of print or unpublished books. Coincidentally, both novelists began their career in the same independent publishing house, the Barcelona-based Anagrama, and were later published under major imprints. Moreover, these recognized novelists, both recipients of the prestigious Herralde and Rómulo Gallegos literary prizes, have become points of reference for the next generation of Latin American and Spanish authors. / text

À partir des années quatre-vingt, des groupes industriels internationaux entrent dans le capital de maisons d'édition du Nord. C'est le début de ce que l'on appellera la globalisation du livre. Face à la crainte de l'uniformisation des productions éditoriales, on observe l'émergence de réflexions et de projets autour de la bibliodiversité. C'est notamment dans cette dynamique que le marché du livre africain se structure en réseaux pour favoriser la diffusion, la distribution et la coédition de ses productions. Dès la fin des années quatre-vingt-dix, la recherche universitaire s'intéresse de plus en plus à l'arrière-plan des oeuvres littéraires africaines. Derrière chaque ouvrage se situent des institutions, des économies, des stratégies d'auteurs, etc., qu'il est important de prendre en considération. Ce travail s'intéresse d'abord à la relation de la production littéraire africaine avec le marché global du livre. Dans un second-temps, notre recherche étudie le cas du marché du livre camerounais et sa cohérence en tant que système éditorial participant à l'économie littéraire nationale, sous-régionale et internationale. / Since the eighties, international industrial firms enter North publishing houses' capital. This was the beginning of what is called book globalization. That process raises a standardization fear of published material; it also involves the emergence of thoughts and projects concerning bibliodiversity. In that context, African book's market has been structured in different kind of networks with the goal of sustaining its diffusion/distribution. On the end of the nineties, scholar researches increase their interest for African literature production's background. Behind each book, we find institutions, economies, authors' strategies, which are important to take in account. In this present work, we will consider the relations between African literary productions and Global book's market. Secondly, our work will focus on Cameroonian book's market as an editorial system, and will question its participation to the economy of literature at national, regional and international scales.
