    Les langues : carte(s) d’identité plurielle. L’écriture autobiographique de Rosie Pinhas-Delpuech, entre traumatismes historiques et enjeux linguistiques.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Kouider Rabah, Sarah
    Languages defne the identity of “Human” because they convey a culture and its corollary, History. When, sometimes, the History of nations carries trauma, humans end up resembling their History, the stories told within traumatized families. Wars, exiles, and migrations make diasporas communities open to the Other for the sake of social integration, or else they become completely hermetic since the fear of losing the cultural foundations in these new spaces of adoption is greater than the desire to blend into the host societies. Life stories can be receptacles for family histories because they are inscribed in history. This article will treat the autobiographical text of Rosie Pinhas-Delpuech which recalls the family languages that had been learned by her father or her mother or at school. These languages emerged mainly because of the individual paths taken by family factions. These languages are present in the autobiographical narrative and relate to events experienced in Europe during and after the Second World War, or sometimes even during the period of the Inquisition.

    Vers une nouvelle autobiographie: subversions et transformations du genre dans les autobiographies contemporaines françaises
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2019) Lipscomb, Antonella
    Abstract: Autobiography is a genre that Philippe Lejeune defines as the retrospective record in prose that a real person gives to his or her own being, emphasizing the personal life and in particular the story of life (Lejeune, 1975: 14). However, what characterizes the French autobiographies of the past 50 years studied in this article is their desire to detach themselves, even deny the genre adopted for all the negative connotations related to the autobiographical genre. Accused of individualism, gocentrism and narcissism, autobiography is a difficult genre to assume and its values of authenticity and sincerity difficult to guarantee. Attraction and aversion are the contradictory feelings experienced by the autobiographers examined in this article in relation to the genre adopted. Feelings that manifest themselves through the resistance to adhere to any definition, the desire to blur the boundaries between autobiography, biography, self-portrait, journal and fiction, and through a fascinating use of personal pronouns in the narration.
