Abstract
This article offers an exploration of the creative process of literary authors from a cognitive-psychological perspective. Analyzing Annie Ernaux’s personal diary, her writing diary, and avant-textes and manuscript drafts for Les années (2008), translated as The Years, the article demonstrates how Ernaux innovates the genre of autobiography and the relation between the individual and the collective. The article considers Ernaux’s experimentation with cognitive and material resources in light of and as shedding light on accounts of creativity and writing from psychology and philosophy of mind. In so doing, it contributes to interdisciplinary exploration of creativity and points to new directions for the field of genetic criticism.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1903, Modern Philology sets the standard for literary scholarship, history, and criticism. In addition to innovative and scholarly articles (in English) on literature in all modern world languages, MP also publishes insightful book reviews of recent books as well as review articles and research on archival documents. Editor Richard Strier is happy to announce that we now welcome contributions on literature in non-European languages and contributions that productively compare texts or traditions from European and non-European literatures. In general, we expect contributions to be written in (or translated into) English, and we expect quotations from non-English languages to be translated into English as well as reproduced in the original.
