%X Cet article analyse l¡¯ouvrage de Tzvetan Todorov intitul¨¦ Th¨¦ories du symbole, qui pr¨¦sente l¡¯histoire des th¨¦ories du symbole. Evaluant les conclusions en mati¨¨re de sciences litt¨¦raires de l¡¯entreprise de Todorov, l¡¯¨¦tude rel¨¨ve les lacunes de cette histoire et les insuffisances de la m¨¦thode s¨¦miotique choisie. L¡¯auteur suspecte l¡¯ uvre de Todorov de v¨¦hiculer en plusieurs endroits les marques de la n¨¦orh¨¦torique du XXe si¨¨cle et cherche ¨¤ mettre en ¨¦vidence les cons¨¦quences de cette corr¨¦lation qui touche ¨¤ la m¨¦thodologie de l¡¯ uvre. This paper analyses Tzvetan Todorov¡¯s Theories of the Symbol, which describes the history of the theories of the symbol. Considering the literary achievements of Todorov¡¯s undertaking, the essay reflects on the shortcomings of the history of the symbol presented and the inadequacy of the chosen semiotic method. The author assumes that Todorov¡¯s book adopts the views of the 20th century neo-rhetorics on several points, and she intends to point out some basic consequences of this correlation that relate to the methodology of the book.
