Bien souvent considérée comme un art immatérial, la littérature offre pourtant des traces bien visibles de son existence. Les maisons d'écrivains, les musées et les expositions littéraires ainsi que les parcs à thème constituent des espaces qui matérialisent la littérature. L'objet de notre thèse sera d'étudier ces différents dispositifs et d'interroger leurs liens avec la manière même de concevoir la littérature. / Often classified as an immaterial art, literature however offers real and visible tracks of its existence as evidenced by writers’ houses, museums and literary exhibitions spreading all over France. The increasing number of theme parks and the development of literary theme parks offer new interesting perspectives. In a multidisciplinary approach involving cultural history, sociology of literary practices and literary theories, the aim of this research work is to question the representations of literature conveyed by these literary spaces. This reflection results from the following paradox: what can be shown to evoke an art of words, only accessible in the act of reading?
