Cette étude s’intéresse à l’incidence sur l’œuvre de Pascal Quignard de l’image bergsonienne de l’« élan vital ». Elle entend montrer que le concept de « jadis », qui forme depuis la fin des années 1990 le cœur de la pensée de l’écrivain, trouve ses origines dans la métaphysique de L’Évolution créatrice.
