WORLD WITHOUT END: THE ALLIANCE OF SCIENCE, FICTION, AND IMAGES IN WARNING OF GLOBAL WARMING.

Our planet is currently experiencing a climate crisis due to global warming. Scientists have begun to sound the alarm about this phenomenon, which will have disastrous consequences at every level. Literature is also affected by this phenomenon. As a result, we are witnessing an influx of literary works of all kinds with the aim of warning people of the dangers of this phenomenon and explaining its causes and impacts. And comics are no exception. In a hugely successful comic book, not only in France but worldwide, comic book artist Christophe Blain teams up with engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici to create Le Monde sans fin, the best-selling book of 2022 in France, which has been translated into numerous languages. The book has provoked controversy, especially in the scientific field. Is it a scientific documentary or a work of literary fiction? Are comics considered a literary genre, or are they simply a form of entertainment for young readers? Le Monde sans fin, with its important themes, offers a new perspective on the issue of global warming. This perspective is both original and perhaps more accessible to the public, while being rich in scientific, historical, economic information and philosophical thoughts. This paper aims to examine the place of comics in contemporary literature, and the important themes addressed by this literary genre, such as global warming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
