| Summary: | With the expansion of new media and Internet, a new publishing practice is developing: the published blog. At the beginning of 2000, published blog were only concerning self-publishing. But it’s not the case anymore, since traditional publishers have become interested in the phenomenon. Blogs may reveal new writers, whose successes on the Web may be the insurance of a publishing success. For unknown writers like Caroline Allard and her Chroniques d’une mère indigne (2007), to be published in a book amount to a literary consecration. We will see that remediation in a book, involves changes in the blog’s text that make it worth its media status, while, in the same time, betraying the blog as the original media. We will study the book’s legitimating power when confronted to new media. Writer’s published blog will also come under scrutiny. In his blog L’Autofictif, Éric Chevillard was at first looking for a brand new field of literary experiments. However, at the end, he seems to change his original goal and chose to eventually publish his texts in a book. The case of published blog will enable us to call into question the persistence of book as a literary model in cyberculture.
