2300-4681 Du récit de l’autre au récit de soi. La double confidence de Françoise Mallet-Joris From the narrative about other to the narrative about yourself. La double confidence by Françoise Mallet-Joris Bizek-Tatara Renata author Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie 015h0qg34 Correspondence to: Renata Bizek-Tatara renata.bizek-tatara@mail.umcs.pl 29 12 2019 Numéro 20 2019 85 98 Copyright © 2019 2019 <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: justify;">This article is devoted to the book </span><em style="text-align: justify;">The Double Confidence</em><span style="text-align: justify;"> (2000) by the Belgian novelist Françoise Mallet‐Joris, which is the fusion of the biography of Marceline Debordes‐Valmore and the autobiography of the author. The writing of the biography triggers the author&#039;s memory and awakens her memories (mainly her difficult relationship with her mother, Suzanne Lilar): she allows her to observe herself, to analyze herself, to ask questions she avoid, to re‐emerge repressed. I study the elements that link the work of Mallet‐Joris to &#34;narrations of filiation&#34;, I examine the binary structure, the singularity of discursive strategies, as well as the therapeutic function of this self‐bio‐graphic project.</span></p>
