Michel Butor (; born 14 September 1926) is a French writer. ==Life and work== Michel Marie François Butor was born in Mons-en-Barœul, a suburb of Lille. He studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, graduating in 1947. He has taught in Egypt, Manchester, Salonika, the United States, and Geneva. He has won many literary awards for his work, including the Prix Apollo, the Prix Fénéon; and the Prix Renaudot. Journalists and critics have associated his novels with the nouveau roman, but Butor himself has long resisted that association. The main point of similarity is a very general one, not much beyond that; like exponents of the nouveau roman, he can be described as an experimental writer. His best-known novel, ''La Modification'', for instance, is written entirely in the second person. In his 1967 ''La critique et l'invention'', he famously said that even the most literal quotation is already a kind of parody because of its "trans-contextualization."〔(A theory of parody: the teachings of twentieth-century art forms By Linda Hutcheon ) p.41〕〔Allan H. Pasco (1994) (Allusion: a literary graft ) p.217〕〔Original quotation: 〕〔Michel Butor 1981 (''Letters from the Antipodes'' ) p.162 quotation: 〕 For decades now, he has chosen to work in other forms, from essays to poetry to artist's books〔Manuel Casimiro, Books on Manuel Casimiro.〕 to unclassifiable works like ''Mobile''. Literature, painting and travel are subjects particularly dear to Butor. Part of the fascination of his writing is the way it combines the rigorous symmetries that led Roland Barthes to praise him as an epitome of structuralism (exemplified, for instance, by the architectural scheme of ''Passage de Milan'' or the calendrical structure of ''L'emploi du temps'') with a lyrical sensibility more akin to Baudelaire than to Robbe-Grillet. In an interview in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, conducted in 2006,〔http://media.moma.org/audio/2006/pub_prog/ModernPoets_113006.mp3〕 the poet John Ashbery describes how he wanted to sit next to Michel Butor at a dinner in New York. Butor was a close friend and colleague of Elinor Miller, a French professor at Embry Riddle University. Butor and Miller worked collaboratively on translations and lectures. In 2002, Miller published a book on Butor entitled ''Prisms and Rainbows: Michel Butor's Collaborations with Jacques Monory, Jiri Kolar, and Pierre Alechinsky.''〔(The Fales Library of NYU's guide to Elinor Miller Paper )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michel Butor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
