Abstract EN:

In "How to write traces", Georges Perec's autobiographic writing has been analyzed according to two ways of reading: an articulated reading and a reticulated reading. Before those ways of reading, the beginning chapter deals back with Perec's autobiographic writing modes we refer to by the word texture ; (borrowed from Jean Ricadou): the autobiographemes, such as Bernard Magné depicted them ; the notion of retrobiotexturation (linked with Perec's use of impliciting) found out by Dominique Bertelli ; the paragrammatical use, in account with anagram analyzing worked out by Ferdinand de Saussure and commented on by Jean Starobinski ; the principle of motif ; we'll widely develop all along this thesis ; and the writing rite notion. Using articulate reading, we work through four texts which are quite important from an autobiographic point of view : the short story "Les lieux d'une fugue" , the unended draft "Lieux", the collection of accounts of dreams "La boutique obscure", and the compilation "Je me souviens". Using reticulated reading, we survey three networks: one concerning quotations about Orson Welles's film "Citizen Kane" in Georges Perec's texts, this network being linked up with retrobiotexturation notion ; one concerning number 17 in keeping with the field of autobiographemes; and finally the intricate network of motifs, words with an implicit connotation of remembrance (memory of the departed parents, memory of the Jewish extraction), and with a metatextual point of view, the written statement of remembrance. To conclude, after these readings, we can define the notion of written trace which seems to rule Georges Perec's autobiographic writing on its whole.
