De Pascalet Boucarut à Henri Bosco et vice versa. Fictions identitaires dans l'oeuvre d'Henri Bosco

Abstract

In Henri Bosco’s récits de jeunesse and Souvenirs, fiction and autobiography meet each other creating an alteration of the generic frontiers. From an intertextual perspective we can observe that repetitions, summaries, sequels are very common in these works. Also, a frequent confusion between the author and the narrator proves to us that Pascalet Boucarut is in a way an ‘alter ego’ of the writer. Moving from Philippe Lejeune’s autobiographical pact (1975) and the new frontiers of Serge
Doubrovsky’s definition of autofiction, we can decode in Henri Bosco’s works a real poetization of the self.
