Le récit de vie comme trajectoire. Une comparaison des (auto)biographies de Jean Paul et de Stendhal by Aurélie Moioli

« My dear audacious Moore » : les poses de l’artiste décadent dans Confessions of a Young Man by Fabienne Gaspari

“…The discovery of Impressionism, of Naturalism and of the Decadent movement constitutes an original moment in Moore’s artistic experience in Paris, a time of learning and initiation amidst the French avant-garde.

Posture d’auteur et médiation de l’œuvre : l’écrivain en porte-parole chez Antoine Volodine by Mette Tjell

“…Using the example of the French writer Antoine Volodine and his fictional work, the article reflects upon the articulation of the posture in fictions whose story is not autobiographical. If one can assume that the discretion of a writer about his private life is a part of his posture, choosing fiction as a field of analysis requires taking into account the complex modalities in which the author manifests his/her presence in the text. …”

The Architecture of a Lifetime: Structures of Remembrance and Invention in Walter Benjamin and Aldo Rossi by Jolien Paeleman

“…In this paper I intend to show the poignancy of the words Rossi referred to and the implications they had on his architecture by offering close comparisons of Benjamin’s and Rossi’s autobiographical writings. In addition, this study examines how one of Rossi’s most famous architectural artefacts, the ossuary of San Cataldo cemetery at Modena, can be viewed as a coalescence of a Benjaminian thought-image, thereby fortifying the philosopher’s presence in modern architecture.…”

Elaine Goodale Eastman, Modernist Author? Re-visiting a Border-crossing Woman Writer’s Place in Literary History by Sarah RUFFING ROBBINS

“…As an editor and co-author with her husband Charles, she contributed to the development of Native American literatures in an intense period of U.S. suppression of indigenous culture—a process in which she played conflicting roles. Through autobiographical texts published late in her life, we see that Eastman continued to have aspirations consistent with a number of modernism’s familiar tenets, even as she also struggled to reconcile the intersectional elements in her gendered personal history with both the successes and the limitations of her multi-faceted publishing career.…”
