(Auto)biography: a figure of reading in a feminist co(n)textual politics,
1998, n. 39-40, pp. 90-113
The author looks at the complex issues raised by autobiographical writing once the traditional patriarchal view which sees it as a literary genre is overcome, turning one's attention to the rich feminist theoretical production in this field.
She argues that writing is activated by reading, the question thus becoming that of a "trace" left by the one in the other, and that of "a fantasmatic subjectivity (built in the reading itself)". Therefore, there can only be "hybrid" autobiographies; "there is no subject of writing. and no subject of reading, but only the (semiotic) passage of a gaze on subjective traces".
