Le contexte socioculturel totalitaire et les fictions identitaires de l’écrivain: une analyse des entretiens narratifs

Abstract

Within the post-totalitarian debate of the “conservators” against the “revisionists” focusing the
cultural resistance issue, the study of retrospective biographic interviews enhances the role played by writersin the totalitarian socio-cultural milieu. Rooted in a specific “ideology” pointing  to the “biographic illusion” ((P. Bourdieu) and identity “re-evaluation” (P. Ricoeur) deeply related to covert mechanisms, the life stories of the “spoken books” (E.Simion) mirror both the “internal” historic scenario and the identity quests experienced by writers as social actors (always subjected to the Great History) from the Otherness point of view. This mechanism of focusing personal experience is linked to the temporal and affective narrative profiles (narrated time vs time of narration) as well as to “the investigator’s” discourse “precentring” the interview.
