Resumo (PT): FR: Il s’agira de caractériser l’activisme européen de l’écrivain belge francophone Grégoire Polet à partir d’une lecture, tant littéraire que politique, du roman Tous (2017). Recourant à l’utopie politique, mais toujours sur base de l’actualité récente de l’Europe, marquée par le sceau des crises financières et bancaires, et en mobilisant une certaine tradition française de la radicalité sociale, Polet imagine une Europe parcourue par une fièvre altermondialiste et écologique capable de la ressourcer et de la faire sortir de l’impasse où elle se trouve.

Abstract (EN): This article is concerned with some issues, proposals and impasses that, in recent years, the idea and practice of "European literature" has led us to. Although this endeavor does not overlap, nor does it have to, with that of the European Union, neither is it completely aloof from the challenges of building and consolidating a consciousness of plural unity. These proposals at once confirm the ineffectiveness, or even the logical and practical impossibility of thinking about literary Europe through a simple summation of the literatures of European nations and their histories, and, on the other hand, they show us how literary Europe works as a sample of sensible intelligence of the coordination of differences or individualities.
