In a time when literature is accused of being self-centeredand overly narcissistic, women's \u003ci\u003eautofiction\u003c\/i\u003e in France since the turn of the millennium has been received with controversy because it disrupts readily accepted ideas about personal and national identities, gender and race, and fiction \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eversus\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eautobiography. Through the study of polemical writers Christine Angot, Chloé Delaume, and Nelly Arcan, Mercédès Baillargeon contendsthat, by recounting personal stories of trauma and sexuality, and thus opposing themselves in opposition to social convention, and by refusing to dispel doubtsregarding the fictional or factual nature of their texts, \u003ci\u003eautofiction \u003c\/i\u003eresists and helps redefine categories of literary genreand gender identity. This book analyzes concurrently the textual and sociopolitical implications that underlie the (de)construction of the \u003ci\u003eautofictional\u003c\/i\u003e subject, and particularly how these writers constantly redefine themselves through performance andself-fashioning made possible by media and technology. Moreover, this workraises important questions relating to the media's complicated relationship with women writers, especially those who discuss themes of trauma, sexuality,and violence, and who also question the distinction between fact and fiction. Proposing a new understanding of \u003ci\u003eautofiction\u003c\/i\u003e as a form of \u003ci\u003elittérature engagée,\u003c\/i\u003e this work contributes to a broader understanding of the French publishing establishment and, of the literary field as a cultural institution, as well asnew insight on shifting notions of identity, the Self and nationalism intoday's ever-changing and multicultural French context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemerciements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: L'autofiction contemporaine des femmes: scandale,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eposture et imposture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePREMIÈRE PARTIE: CHRISTINE ANGOT: VICTIME OU MARTYRE?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre un: Autofiction, métafiction et personnage médiatique chez Christine Angot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre deux: Lecture, provocation et scandale dans L'Inceste: déjouer le lecteur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre trois: Quitter la ville: naissance d'une tragédie?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEUXIÈME PARTIE: CHLOÉ DELAUME: LA VICTIME ENFIN BOURREAU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre quatre: L'autofiction expérimentale de Chloé Delaume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable des matières\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre cinq: Les Mouflettes d'Atropos: l'individu dans le collectif\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre six: Le Cri du sablier: déconstruire les fictions individuelles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapitre sept: La Vanité des somnambules, ou le rapport au lecteur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTROISIÈME PARTIE: PARI MANQUÉ?
