Abstract

Pseudo-Memoirs redefines the notion of fiction itself, a form that has all too often been understood in terms of its capacity to produce a seeming reality. Rochelle Tobias argues that the verisimilitude of the novel derives not from its object but from the subjectivity at its base. What generates the plausibility of fiction is not the referentiality of its depictions but the intentionality of consciousness.Edmund Husserl developed the idea that consciousness is always intentional in the sense that it is directed outside itself toward something that it does not find so much as it constitutes as an object. Pseudo-memoirs reveal the full implications of this position in their double structure as the tale of their own telling or the fiction of life-writing. In so doing they reveal how the world of fiction is constructed, but more important they bring to the fore the idealist premises that fuel the novel and guarantee its truth, even when it remains an invention of the imagination.Rochelle Tobias explores novels by Thomas Mann, Robert Walser, Thomas Bernhard, and W. G. Sebald in conjunction with philosophical and theoretical texts by René Descartes, Husserl, Friedrich Nietzsche, György Łukács, Roland Barthes, and Maurice Blanchot.

Abstract

In the first half of the twentieth century, a number of Canadian authors were revealed to have faked the identities that made them famous. What is extraordinary about these writers is that they actually "became," in everyday life, characters they had themselves invented. Many of their works were simultaneously fictional and autobiographical, reflecting the duality of their identities. In Literary Impostors, Rosmarin Heidenreich tells the intriguing stories, both the "true" and the fabricated versions, of six Canadian authors who obliterated their pasts and re-invented themselves: Grey Owl was in fact an Englishman named Archie Belaney; Will James, the cowboy writer from the American West, was the Quebec-born francophone Ernest Dufault; the prairie novelist Frederick Philip Grove turned out to be the German writer and translator Felix Paul Greve. Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, Onoto Watanna, and Sui Sin Far were the chosen identities of three mixed-race writers whose given names were, respectively, Sylvester Long, Winnifred Eaton, and Edith Eaton. Heidenreich argues that their imposture, in some cases not discovered until long after their deaths, was not fraudulent in the usual sense: these writers forged new identities to become who they felt they really were. In an age of proliferating cyber-identities and controversial claims to ancestry, Literary Impostors raises timely questions involving race, migrancy, and gender to illustrate the porousness of the line that is often drawn between an author's biography and the fiction he or she produces.

Abstract

This book examines a major modern turn in Francophone Caribbean literature towards the récit d'enfance, or childhood memoir, and asks why this occurred post-1990, connecting texts to recent changes in public policy and education policy concerning the commemoration of slavery and colonialism both in France and at a global level (for example, the UNESCO project 'La Route de l'esclave', the 'loi Taubira' and the 'Comité pour la mémoire de l'esclavage'). Combining approaches from Postcolonial Theory, Psychoanalysis, Trauma Theory and Gender Studies, and positing recognition as a central concept of postcolonial literature, it draws attention to a neglected body of récits d'enfance by contemporary bestselling, prize-winning Francophone Caribbean authors Patrick Chamoiseau, Maryse Condé, Gisèle Pineau, Daniel Maximin, Raphaël Confiant and Dany Laferrière, while also offering new readings of texts by Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Edouard Glissant, Joseph Zobel, Françoise Ega, Michèle Lacrosil, Maurice Virassamy and Mayotte Capécia. The study proposes an innovative methodological paradigm with which to read postcolonial childhoods in a comparative framework from areas as diverse as the Caribbean, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and particularly the Haitian diaspora in North America.

Abstract

Con este estudio narratológico se ofrece un modelo sistemático para el análisis de la autoficción en textos literarios narrativos. Además, se discute la autoficción dentro del reciente panorama de géneros meta entre bioficción, docuficción, metanovela y otros. Tomando como ejemplo una selección de novelas y cuentos de finales del siglo XX y del XXI se describen diferentes combinaciones de recursos narrativos antagónicos como clave lúdica autoficcional. Esta se plasma en tipos muy variados de una literatura mind-game, como se demuestra en las novelas de Rosa Montero, Javier Cercas, Juan José Millás, Darío Jaramillo y Carlos Feal.

Abstract

Débrouiller l’écheveau complexe de la mémoire et des images, et singulièrement de la photographie, dans le texte autobiographique contemporain (celui-là même que l’on nomme parfois autofiction), telle est la tâche que s’est donnée l’auteur du présent ouvrage. Un essai fait de patience et de passion, qui, quand il n’est pas une tentative de mise au jour d’une sorte d’inconscient visuel à l’œuvre, prend très vite les allures d’un roman familial à plusieurs voix. Où s’entrelacent les fils et ficelles de la ressemblance et de la différence, du mort et du vif, et, aussi bien, du masculin et du féminin : le fantasme de la réconciliation d’un auteur avec son image, en quelque sorte.

Abstract

Cent ans après À la Recherche du temps perdu de Marcel Proust, les intermittences du cœur demeurent, mais les mots pour le dire s'inscrivent dans un nouveau paradigme, celui du discontinu. L'écriture de soi ne cesse d'imploser dans d'infinies intermittences génériques et scripturales qui témoignent d'un sujet désireux moins de se prendre intus et in cute que de se déprendre en privilégiant la recherche d'un soi à travers ses métamorphoses et ses virtualités. La notion de vérité se déplace, comme le montre déjà Michel Leiris cherchant sa vérité dans les tableaux de Cranach, ou Serge Doubrovsky, inventeur du terme « autofiction ». Si la psychanalyse change la donne de la recherche de soi, la grande hache de l'Histoire entre pour une large part dans cette nouvelle écriture d'un soi comme exproprié de lui-même, notamment de son passé et de sa filiation, contraint, comme Jorge Semprun ou Alain Fleischer, à s'inventer. Théâtre, cinéma, arts plastiques et multimédias s'en font l'écho dans des pratiques comparables de bricolage et de recomposition, à l'image d'Agnès Varda, qui, dans ses films ou ses installations, met en scène l'éphémère et le précaire. L'originalité de cet ouvrage tient à sa problématique audacieuse, urgente, complexe autant que mouvante, à laquelle elle tente de répondre en interrogeant des œuvres canoniques aussi bien que récentes grâce à des approches multiples et diverses qui mettent la littérature au cœur d'un dialogue avec les arts et la pensée de son temps.
