Issue title: “Connecting Characters”

This special issue examines character networks and interdependency in French-language fiction spanning the modern and contemporary periods. Approaching connection as a qualitative phenomenon, articles examine what connects characters in fictional works, how these links shape narrative meaning within and across texts, and how character interdependency reflects diverse social, political, and historical contexts. The issue’s range extends from modes of character interdependency in novel sequences of the nineteenth century to multi-perspectival fictions of today, narratives in intertextual dialogue, and transmedia adaptation.
