One of the favorite motifs is the figure of a lover who returns in different incarnations in subsequent songs. Identified with unrequited love, lust, ecstasy, madness, pain, loss, lover’s scandal, the lover becomes a myth. The relationship with him leads to the discovery of the unknown, the territory of his own “I”, which sometimes includes traumatic experiences, transgression of prohibitions and even incestuous love. The lover’s theme becomes a kind of phantasm, constituting a narrative subject or model that determines the functioning of literary characters, allows to describe a recurring story differently each time. In this way, Duras’s prose presents an intertextual reading of the presented events, emphasizing the importance of obsessive return to the past and childhood.}, doi = {10.4467/23538953CE.19.015.10700}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/cahiers-erta/article/la-hantise-du-meme-souvenir-chez-duras-la-reecriture-dune-histoire-damour} }
