Therefore, it is possible to determine the characteristics of a literature that aims at forming a new feminine language and perception, asserting its freedom against classical norms, and providing the basis for new thought categories based on subjectivity, multiplicity, diversity, and pleasure.These fictions, which rework and transform family members and childhood memories, offer texts that are self-feeding and self-reflexive. Each fiction provides a basis for the other and while the autobiographical elements are transformed, each text puts forward a renewed writing and perspective each time although its source remains the same.frVoix et MémoiresÉléments autobiographiquesdoctoralThesis
