Description - Narrating the Self in Early Modern Europe L'Ecriture De Soi Dans L'Europe Moderne by Bruno Tribout
What does it mean to narrate the self? Is there a 'self' to be narrated? What form should such narratives or writings take? The authors of the sixteen essays collected in this volume use a variety of approaches to study a broad range of what are now called 'ego-documents' from the Renaissance to the beginning of the nineteenth century. From them it emerges that 'the self' is not an acknowledged fact, but rather a historical process, which is neither linear nor stable.
Que peut bien signifier l'�criture de soi � l'�poque moderne ? Y a-t-il m�me un moi � d�crire et raconter ? Quelles formes peuvent prendre de tels r�cits ? Les seize contributions rassembl�es dans ce volume cherchent � r�pondre � ces questions en interrogeant, suivant diverses approches, une grande vari�t� de textes de la Renaissance � la R�volution, relevant de ce que l'historiographie tend � nommer des ego-documents . A travers l'�tude de ces textes, il appara�t que le moi, loin d'�tre un donn� universel, est le fruit d'un processus historique qui n'est ni lin�aire ni stable.
