Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2001.

This dissertation proposes a theoretical framework for the study of autobiography based on the concept of the return. This approach aims to explore the aesthetic dimensions of autobiography as a literary construction of the self. The scope of my research and analysis is limited to autobiographies written by francophone writers whose perspectives on French culture and language raise specific issues regarding the language of literary expression.

520 $a This dissertation proposes a theoretical framework for the study of autobiography based on the concept of the return. This approach aims to explore the aesthetic dimensions of autobiography as a literary construction of the self. The scope of my research and analysis is limited to autobiographies written by francophone writers whose perspectives on French culture and language raise specific issues regarding the language of literary expression.
520 $a As autobiography is often limited in scope and a purpose to a testimonial value, the problems of rhetoric, writing and language are left largely unexplored in many studies. For many Francophone writers whose cultural and geographical origins lie outside of the “Hexagone”, the dynamics of language and writing are indeed a rich source of study for the literary critic. This study is an attempt to foreground the dynamics of language and writing, while at the same time study the historical, ideological and cultural contexts in which the autobiographer writes.
520 $a My approach examines autobiography as a two fold-return: a return into the time and space of past experience and a return to the time and space of the home country. On a purely thematic level, the narrative of the «return to the native land» is of fundamental importance in the francophone literary tradition because it reflects the fact that while many writers consider their identities to be firmly anchored in their home cultures and traditions, the adoption of European perspectives and genres is sometimes, but not necessarily, conflictual.
520 $a Working from a conceptual framework, where the notion of return, refers to “the action of going back to where one was before”, allows us to explore the literal and metaphorical significations of “return” in autobiography as a type of writing, as a mode of lecture and as a form of poetic resurrection. Thus, the concept of the return allows us to study the thematic and testimonial dimensions of autobiography, without altogether reducing the literary dimensions to questions of realism and mimesis.
