La simulation humaine : le roman-fleuve comme terrain d'expérimentation narrative

In this article we present the approach and first results of a participative research process done between the EPFL Digital Humanities Laboratory (DHLAB) and the Swiss writer Daniel de Roulet. In this study, we try to get a closer view at how digital reading may influence the way sagas are written and recomposed. We hereby expose our first intermediate conclusions, as well as the possible further works in this very broad and seldom studied field.
