Abstract: During the 19th century, the flood was the natural disaster most often represented in pictures due to its greater visibility or its spectacular character. Thus, disasters occur in various discursive genres, such as in prints, in the press or in literary texts. The ecopoetic approach that we will adopt in this study will allow us to rethink our relationship to nature in such a way as to emphasize questions of form and writing to present nature through the prism of ecological problems including the disturbed relationship between human and non-human in natural, urban or industrial environments. It is in this spirit that we will propose to study here the questions of writing in various genres of discourse of the 19th century, relating to natural disasters, in particular in prints, short stories and naturalist novels.
