Our subject consists to examine how the emergence of these feelings try to worsen this contemporary assumption that today's writer write from an « illegitimacy » (this one can be of family, social or professional order, etc.). Besides, it is a question of coming up, with supporting illustrations, the way which feelings of faintness and shame come over the text while being interested in the advent of the ernausian discomfort related to the language, complicity and complexity with the father's figure.
