'Je ne me réputerai totalement mourir' : tense, death, survival in Rabelais’s Pantagruel

Abstract:
Rabelais's imaginings of possible posthumous presence draw upon an extraordinary range of narrative, rhetorical, and indeed grammatical resources, of which tense is one of the most fundamental and so least immediately visible. It is both a discreet grammatical pulse fostering, amongst other things, certain kinds of posthumous presence and also, within Rabelais's outlandish elocutio, an expressive tool for making such presence disturb or console protagonist and reader.
