Abstract

Many autobiographical productions at the crossroads of literature and science are similar to the loom of our lives. At least that is what the stories of Annie Ernaux, Didier Eribon and Pierre Bourdieu show. These writings, near to the literary or scientific genres, reveal a fairly similar existential project on the part of these three authors. For each of them, it is a question of  pursuing an emancipatory ambition by  knotting, unravelling and renewing the threads of a history located at the border between the individual and the collective. It is undoubtedly one of the royal ways to bring about the enigmatic and fragile figure of a subject under the influence of a double structure: unconscious and social.

Keywords:

subject, unconscious, habitus, educational biography, socio-psychic knots
