Sommario/riassunto

Ce volume reunit des textes qui rendent compte de la multiplicite de l'experience narrative du sujet contemporain et en font ressortir la dimension sociale et politique. Les contributions rassemblees abordent les multiples ecueils du recit de soi et de son adresse dans des contextes de violences reelles et symboliques souvent extremes et interrogent le pouvoir d'affirmation et de resistance du recit et les limites qu'il rencontre.
