Publisher Summary 1
While rewriting was hardly new to literary production, in the 20th century it became more calculated and self-conscious than during previous periods. Perhaps epitomizing this phenomenon are the French literary figures of Marguerite Duras, Annie Ernaux, and Marie Redonnet, each of who repeatedly reconfigured their own texts. Here, Jelenik (French, The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina) examines the rewriting performed by Duras, Ernaux, and Redonnet by drawing on the theoretical work of Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes, Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Freidrich Nietzsche, and Emile Benveniste in order to reveal rewriting as a means of reconfiguring the self, social classes, and language itself.
