Entretien littéraire et vérité. Comment Christine Angot révèle-t-elle sa vérité d’auteure dans ses performances médiatiques ?

Abstract

The different “ethos” displayed by Christine Angot emerge in a subtle play of interdiscursive relationships that are created throughout the literary interview. Like in a game of mirrors, the self-images she projects can be deconstructed into four paradoxical and ambiguous facets. The quadruple nature of the author’s image allows us to define the literary identity of Christine Angot. She strives to demonstrate that the truth of the text should not be confused with the reality of facts, and that the former can in no way be interpreted as a true copy of the latter, despite the staging of a character called Christine Angot, her homonymous double.
