Au croisement de l’écriture (autobiographique) et du cinéma chez Marguerite Duras
2021
In the work of Duras, a significant role is played by the image. It penetrates and stimulates her writing, refers to the author’s biography. Together with the publication of Un barrage contre le Pacifique, she begins to write the history of her childhood, which overlaps with the beginnings of cinematography. In turn, L’Éden cinéma, L’Amant and L’Amant de la Chine du Nord enable readers to discover the unusually suggestive world of childhood presented through the sequences of the most important events from Duras’s young years. In this way, readers have the opportunity to understand the complexity and multidimensionality of the author’s rich oeuvre, using various means of expression, constant…
Len’ka Panteleev and the traditions of Van’ka Kain: Criminal Biography in XXth Century Russia
2017
The Fighter against the myth, or the memoirist who considers himself a Hercules (Anton Pavlovich Chekhov: an attempt at a characterization by N.M. Ezhov). The vast corpus about the 1920s Petrograd bandit Len’ka Panteleev, comprised of different texts – such as newspaper articles, fiction, film and song, with a complex and often ambiguous interplay between factual accounts and fictional adaptation – seems untypical for the era. A useful term of comparison is the similar corpus concerning the 18th century Moscow rogue Van’ka Kain. The latter shows all the typical features of 18th century criminal biographies, which at the time were popular throughout Europe. According to Michel Foucault, this…

La ri-mediazione digitale e la dissolvenza dell’io nel Photojournal di Annie Ernaux
2019
Scopo del contributo è l’analisi del Photojournal, un dispositivo fototestuale autobiografico che Annie Ernaux compone come premessa al volume delle sue opere, Écrire la vie (Gallimard, 2011). La sezione biografica del volume diventa una premessa autobiografica, dove l’autrice compone 70 foto e 100 brani dei suoi diari per spiegare le ragioni della sua scrittura. Le foto illustrano la realtà materiale e i diari esprimono la realtà soggettiva: le due condizioni che hanno permesso la scrittura delle opere dell’autrice. L’analisi della composizione fototestuale ha messo in rilievo due effetti di profondità: il palinsesto e il collage. Attraverso le sovrapposizioni degli strati dei documenti ri…
Strategie autofinzionali in "Leggenda privata" di Michele Mari
2019
Leggenda privata (2017) is the latest in a series of autobiographical writings by Michele Mari. The novel is the factual narration of the author's childhood and adolescence, documented by family photos, but is also the narration of a fictional and fantastic situation of writing, where the reader is involved in live recording. In particular, the narrative framework is structured almost like a personal essay that engages dialogically the norms and potentials, opportunities and risks of a theory of autobiography. The purpose of this article is to explore the limits, the difficulties, indeed the impossibility of autobiographical writing in Leggenda Privata, which instead verges towards a comple…
Nie każdy nosił w plecaku buławę… hetmańską. Kilka uwag o karierze wojskowej i politycznej Aleksandra Hilarego Połubińskiego w związku z pracą Andrze…
2020
Celem artykułu recenzyjnego jest ocena biografii i Aleksandra Hilarego Połubińskiego pióra Andrzeja A. Majewskiego. Dokonano w nim analizy następujących jej elementów: wykorzystanej bazy źródłowej i literatury, właściwości doboru bohatera, konstrukcji pracy oraz postawionych w niej tez. W przypadku tych ostatnich największe zastrzeżenia wzbudziły: sposób przedstawienia Połubińskiego jako dowódcy wojskowego; sprowadzenie na dalszy plan rozważań jego kariery politycznej; zmarginalizowanie działalności gospodarczej; sposób przedstawienia klienteli Połubińskiego. W połączeniu z przyjętą konstrukcją pracy — chronologiczną, z nadmiernie rozbudowanymi opisami działań wojennych, obniża to ocenę rec…

Illness Narrative and Self-Help Culture – Self-Help Writing on Age-Related Infertility
2014
Both self-help books and illness narratives are motivated by an impulse to overcome a crisis and, simultaneously, to help others who suffer from similar conditions. In doing so, authors of self-help and illness narratives move in between polar opposites: they have both individual and collective motives, they have a desire to overcome uncertainty and achieve control and they negotiate the authority of experience versus the authority of expertise. This paper has two objectives: (1) It describes the intersections of illness life writing and self-help culture and traces the thematic, cultural and historical similarities. (2) It analyzes a selection of four autobiographical, U.S.-American self-h…
A Qualitative Study Based on the Reading-life Histories of Future Teachers
2015
Abstract One of the tools that have been used in research on literary education is what are known as reading-life histories or the reading autobiography. In this paper we will offer an analysis and some reflections on the different ways these can be used, by drawing on a sample of histories collected from students training to be teachers since the implementation of the new university curricula within what is known as the European Bologna process. The findings from this analysis open up a range of possibilities in research and innovation in literary training. Based on their previous experiences and recollections as readers, such narratives provide us with important information not only about…
