- Abstract: Abstract: This article is a comparative analysis of two autofictions: The Trial by Fire (Die Feuerprobe) by Ernst Weiss and W by Georges Perec. Both writers, who are well-versed in psychoanalysis, decide to search for their unconscious by writing autofiction. To Weiss and Perec, only this process will allow them to access the memory that has stored traumatic events occulted by childhood amnesia. The writers share a phantasmic — yet, anonymous — agreement with their attentive reader. In both texts, the analyst reader observes the figure of an inner witness who writes in order to capture a child lost in the writer''s unconcious. This infantile part is psychotic, as it is caused by an early-childhood trauma, possibly the father''s death, and it focuses on primary narcissism. It also involves an anal bunker that is supposed to serve as a protective barrier against any traumatic memory surge. The mental state of the child threatens the psychogenic integrity of the two writers. A clinical reading of the two works unveils the secret of autofictional writing: the inner witness, identified with Freud, becomes the mother/father analyst for the lost child. Thus, under the protective fantasy of self-procreating, a psychical rapport with the child has been recreated. As the inner witness brings back the father''s law into the rules of language, the primitive scene is extirpated from amnesia and opens up to desire, even if only during the writing process. Thus, autofictional writing saves a precarious and borderline psychical equilibrium. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
- Abstract: Résumé: Cet article est une analyse comparée de deux autofictions : L’épreuve du feu (Die Feuerprobe) d’Ernst Weiss et W de Georges Perec. Ces deux écrivains, versés en psychanalyse, décident de partir à la recherche de leur inconscient dans l’écriture autofictionnelle. Ils ont l’impression que c’est le seul moyen pour retrouver la mémoire d’événements emportés par une amnésie infantile traumatique. Ils passent avec leur lecteur attentif un pacte fantasmatique sous le voile de l’anonymat. Dans ces deux textes, le lecteur analyste voit une figure de témoin interne prendre la plume pour parvenir à rattraper un enfant perdu dans l’inconscient des écrivains. Cette partie infantile est psychotique suite à un traumatisme précoce, vraisemblablement la mort du père, qui l’a ramenée sur les rivages du narcissisme primaire. Autour d’elle s’est mise en place un bunker anal censé faire écran à toute reviviscence traumatique. L’état de cet enfant menace l’intégrité psychique des deux romanciers. La lecture clinique des deux œuvres dévoile le secret de cette écriture autofictionnelle : le témoin interne, identifié à Freud, devient père-mère analyste pour cet enfant perdu et parvient ainsi, à l’abri d’un fantasme d’auto-engendrement, à recréer un lien psychique avec lui. Comme le témoin interne ramène la loi du père dans les filets du langage, la scène primitive est arrachée à l’amnésie et s’entrouvre au désir, tout au moins dans le temps de l’écriture. L’écriture autofictionnelle sauve ainsi un précaire équilibre psychique limite.
