Cantieri tanatologici. Trauma vs scrittura nell’opera di Chloé Delaume

Abstract

This article investigates the relationship between trauma and writing in Chloé Delaume’s oeuvre. Autofiction, the genre chosen by the French author, together with her personal idea of literature, creates a fictional universe whose aim is to change the real one. In this way, trauma is, at the same time, the subject of Delaume’s books and the result she wants to achieve. The mise en scène of her private story, through formal research and language experimentation, aspires to create a new identity for herself and to involve her readers in an individual search for awareness.
