La honte

la_honte.jpg Annie Ernaux - Paris, Gallimard (Blanche), 1997, 144 p.

« “J’ai toujours eu envie d’écrire des livres dont il me soit ensuite impossible de parler, qui rendent le regard d’autrui insoutenable. Mais quelle honte pourrait m’apporter l’écriture d’un livre qui soit à la hauteur de ce que j’ai éprouvé dans ma douzième année.” Annie Ernaux. »

IGBOEMEKA, Adeze, « Writing on the Father’s Tomb : Hysteria and the Father-Daughter Relationship in Contemporary French Women’s Writing », thèse de doctorat, Department of French, University of Toronto, 2000, 297 f. +++ Thèse de doctorat / mémoire de maîtrise

###« This thesis is a study of the father-daughter relationship and how it is bound to the issue of feminine subjectivity and writing. The main aim of the study is to examine the complexities of the father-daughter relationship in order to demonstrate how it is represented in certain contemporary women writer’s work as a means of dissenting from the organization of sexual difference, as a means of questioning the paternal function. Through close textual analysis of selected works by Hélène Cixous, Marie Redonnet and Annie Ernaux, the dissertation examines how the paternal figure is implicated in the daughter / heroine’s coming of age as a woman in their texts. The textual analyses concentrate on how a hysteric structure is staged in each writer’s work, a structure that is read as the articulation of dissent from woman’s place in the social order.

The work begins with an introduction to the problem and to the key psychoanalytical concepts that will be used. In Chapter 2, Hélène Cixous’s Dedans (1969) and Or : les lettres de mon père (1997) are studied. Cixous’s work presents the father as the ultimate object of desire and stages the relationship to the father as the basis for her writing. Chapter 3 takes up the work of Annie Ernaux, concentrating on La Place (1983) and La Honte (1997), where a portrait of the father as a humiliated figure is developed. The attachment and identification with the father are analyzed to show how the hysteric structure supports the author’s critique of gender and class. A discussion of Marie Redonnet’s trilogy– Splendid Hôtel (1986), Forever Valley (1987), and Rose, Mélie, Rose (1987)–constitutes the fourth chapter. The three heroines’ attempts at creating a work of sublimation are progressively investigated while regarding the role of the father. The textual analyses trace out each author’s problematizing of women’s subjectivity and discuss how the question of writing as a woman is addressed in the works. »
