  Abstract:  L’intertextualité en tant qu’indice polyphonique: Mori Ōgai, Seinen (Le jeune homme), 1910 / Intertextuality as an Index of Polyphony: Mori Ōgai’s Seinen (Youth), 1910. Considering Mori Ōgai’s novel Seinen as the writing of an intellectual “adventure” and, simultaneously, as the “adventure” of a writing oriented towards self-representation, this study proposes an analysis from the perspective of the functions of intertextuality, manifested not only at the level of the poetic language and the creation of meaning, but also at that of its reception. The study also seeks to demonstrate that in the aforementioned writing, intertextuality triggers the narrative function, which consists of two movements: one given by the writing of a text that exists at the intersection with other texts and another one which builds the subject of the narrative by invoking ideas rather than actions.

Keywords: intertextuality, polyphonic novel, individualism, freedom
