<span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size:14px"><font face="Times" class="">Has Virginia Woolf become, just like Shakespeare, one of those literary icons that pervade popular culture, alongside Marilyn Monroe or Lady Di? Monographs such as Brenda Silver’s <i class="">Virginia
Woolf Icon</i> or recent fictional productions such as Anne-James Chaton’s surprising novel <i class="">Elle regarde passer les gens</i> (adapted for the stage under the title <i class="">Icônes</i>) seem to suggest so.</font></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size:14px"><font face="Times" class="">Woolf’s transformation into an icon, object, and by-product leads us to acknowledge the shift in her<span class="" style="color:red"> </span>status as a writer: she no longer embodies
just a national writer, but transcends geographical borders and has become a figure from a little-known past that people imagine and reimagine without necessarily reading her works. In this process of iconisation, the authorial figure is recycled and begins
new lives in new referential spaces, as it is appropriated by popular culture, marketed and commercialised. The contemporary biofictions that use the figure of Virginia Woolf and turn her into a character are a perfect example of this practice. Participants
could start by discussing the notion of recycling an authorial figure, by defining and analysing its features, and establishing whether it is a culturally grounded notion, that is to say whether it varies according to the cultural environments in which it
takes place. Participants could further point out the specificity of recycling the figure of Virginia Woolf, compared to other literary figures who have undergone the same process of iconisation, or, on the contrary, who have not been assimilated by popular
culture.</font></span></p>

<span class="" style="font-size:14px"><font face="Times" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">The process of recycling an authorial figure not only alters his or her cultural status but inevitably impacts his or her oeuvre and the way we read it. On the one
hand, it raises questions about how these transformations modify the reception of an author’s work. In what ways does such a revision of the status of the author imply a fresh rereading of his or her œuvre? On the other hand, it questions the manner in which
an author’s oeuvre is appropriated. Does the notion of recycling apply to an author’s work just as it applies to authors themselves as cultural products? And if so, how is it different from rewriting, adaptation or transposition? Could we therefore apply the
notion of recycling to Woolf’s oeuvre? And h</span><span lang="EN-GB" class="">ow does high culture react to the fact that Woolf is being recycled in today’s popular culture? <span class="" style="background-color:white">Participants are invited to address

and an essay writer, Woolf was interested in the “waste” of literature, in “minor” writers left out from the literary canon, or in “Bad Writers”, as the title of one of her essays attests. Could we thus envisage Woolf as a recycler? </font></span></p>
