In this original contribution, she studies the nexus of life stories, subjectivity, fragmentation, and fiction. The philosophical basis of this research is phenomenology from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, specifically that of Husserl and above all that of Merleau-Ponty. This work also draws on Proust's and Camus' literature as well as Beckett's dramaturgy UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783839466803?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783839466803 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783839466803/original ER -
