Abstract

L'invention des écritures du moi ne saurait être attribuée à un auteur, une doctrine, un milieu ou une époque. Très tôt, au Moyen-Orient, en Grèce, à Rome, à Byzance, en pays d'Islam, en Chine, au Japon, dans l'Europe médiévale et renaissante, des individus ont tenté de signaler leur existence, de retracer leur itinéraire, de définir leur identité.Qui étaient-ils, quand, pourquoi et comment sont-ils passés à l'acte ? L'Histoire de leurs histoires fait certes apparaître la diversité des mobiles, des modèles et des pratiques. Mais elle montre aussi une corrélation constante entre le pluralisme de l'environnement culturel et l'émergence du sujet autobiographique. En quête de légitimité, le " je " va se glisser dans un genre bien établi – prière, rapport, chronique, biographie, éloquence, récit de voyages ou poésie – avant de subir l'attraction du roman.En cédant à la tentation autobiographique, Aristide, Augustin, Ge Hong, Nijô, Blemmydès, Abélard, Ibn Khaldûn, Cellini et cent autres ont ouvert un nouvel espace anthropologique. Si les expériences dont ils témoignent sont souvent fort éloignées des nôtres, leurs stratégies de communication annoncent les développements ultérieurs du genre. De leur désir de se justifier et de se survivre est né un registre littéraire fondamentalement problématique.

Abstract

This book explores new questions and approaches to the rise of autobiographical writing since the early modern period. What motivated more and more men and women to write records of their private life? How could private writing grow into a bestselling genre? How was this rapidly expanding genre influenced by new ideas about history that emerged around 1800? How do we explain the paradox of the apparent privacy of publicity in many autobiographies? Such questions are addressed with reference to well-known autobiographies and an abundance of newfound works by persons hitherto unknown, not only from Europe, but also the Near East, and Japan. This volume features new views of the complex field of historical autobiography studies, and is the first to put the genre in a global perspective.

Abstract

Bell utilizes an inter-disciplinary approach to studying autobiography in the 18th Century. Making use of religion and philosophy, history and literature, contemporary theory and humanism, his original analysis offers a unique array of disciplinary interpretations of the genre. This book not only deals with autobiography in a thorough manner, it also incorporates historical and philosophical interpretations to the presentation of self in this type of literature. He also demonstrates some of the problems with first person singular writing, which distinguishes this style from other forms of non-
