In “Time and Autobiography in L’Amant de Marguerite Duras”, Margaret Sankey was one of the first researchers to analyze the autobiographical in the novels of Marguerite Duras. Two years later, Aliette Armel published a book on Marguerite Duras and autobiography. More recently, researchers have focused on the autobiographical dimension of the cinema of Marguerite Duras and on the projection of the self in the paratextual and cinematographic work of the author. Pursuing this work, this study examines the elements that, in connection with the media exposure of the author, deal with the projection of oneself in the films, in particular through the analysis of the incursions of the person of the writer and of her inner circle. This article will also examine the filmic strategies that allow Duras to evoke more subtly fragments of her sensorial memory through the sound and visual aspects of the films.

Apart from her familiar fiction and memory writing, Colette wrote hundreds of short pieces for the periodical press. Some of these are theatre and music criticism; many are chroniques. This article selects several of these in which Colette reflects on this very fluid genre. Firstly, she receives advice from a child about writing without an assigned topic. This is a parodic poetics. Secondly, she tells us where she finds her topics: it is in the streets, not in the “factory” that makes the paper. Yet, in an evident paradox, her vehicle for this lesson is a story about crackpots who do not respect this boundary. Thirdly, in another paradox, she wanders in the streets, writing while taking time off from writing. This last chronique foreshadows the work of Ross Chambers on Loiterature.
