Title: RECITS DE FILIATION : PASSAGE DE LA SPHERE INTIME A LA SPHERE PUBLIQUE

Description: Il s’agit dans cette présentation de saisir la motivation du cheminement scriptural intime de quatre écrivaines (Mazarine Pingeot, Marie Nimier, Anne Goscinny, Félicité Herzog) qui décident à un moment de leur existence de retracer à la manière des récits de filiation l’existence de leur père célèbre. Cette entreprise peu ordinaire à cause de la notoriété paternelle, les oblige à prendre connaissance de l’image tant privée que publique de cet individu, renseignements disparates qu’elles confrontent à leurs souvenirs d’enfance peu précis. L’écriture hybride qui en résulte contribue à rétablir une relation filiale, à offrir également à autrui une image complète de leur père et d’elle-même pour se resituer dans un espace public resté trop longtemps inaccessible. Soyez tous les bienvenus All welcome!
