Abstract (EN)

This article begins by explaining the notion of "emotional temporality " (Carcassonne 2004, 2007). Then its indicates to what extent structuralist approaches of the narrative have emphasized a forward-looking temporality (thanks to suspense) and to what extent hermeneutic approaches inspired by Ricœur have emphasized a retrospective temporality (thanks to explanations, justifications and interpretations(performances)). The more recent dialogical-interactive approach is then underlined to show that it admits the explosion of the narrative structure which it no longer considers as a major criterion to define a narrative. This opens the way to exploring new dimensions, in particular that of "emotional temporality ". The article goes on to point out a number of characteristics common to various interviewees in the way of expressing emotional forms of temporality by insisting on the fact that these forms of temporality take shape in the dynamics of the interview (discursive moves) rather than in what is explicitly said. In conclusion, these characteristics are connected with various levels of contexts (of collection, professional, ideological).
