主 题:non-coincidence of the self dissolution of the self mirroring of the self fictitious self crumblingdown of the self connection of the self with others like in-between rhizomes cyber migrances postmodernism
摘 要:The purpose of this paper is to show that autobiographical works like Gabrielle Roy's Enchantment and Sorrow (1988) and R6gine Robin's La Qudbdcoite (1983), do not succeed in anchoring the self and eliminating past traumatic experiences. These writers realize that they cannot reincarnate their former 'T' as time has passed and their lives have changed. The self does not let itself be reduced to a definite being but on the contrary mirrors itsef in all its surroundings. Writing the fragmentation of the self makes these authobiographies appear on one hand, fictional as the "I" always eludes itself. But on the other hand, they best describe the postmodern 'T' who is conscious of the permeability of one's own self as well inwards by the influences, the collages of others on the Self as outwards by the projection of the self onto others, like rhizome connecting to others and forming a web of exchanges like in cyberspace
