La littérature française face au XXIe siècle, published in 2017, Alexandre Gefen highlights writing practices that have some beneficial impact on the experience of disease. I situate in this perspective Caroline Gutmann’s novel Les Papillons Noirs (2018), which is a unique fusion of autopathography (Grisi) with a filiation narrative (Viart). Two dimensions of filiation are under analysis – the familial and the mythical and literary ones – which become for the “writing I” a therapeutic means of fighting with cancer, as well as intergenerational traumas liberated in the process of reading/writing from the family “crypt” (Törok). }, doi = {10.4467/23538953CE.19.026.11550}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/cahiers-erta/article/des-filiations-therapeutiques-dans-les-papillons-noirs-de-caroline-gutmann} }
