Mémoire(s) d’exil : vers une autobiographie ethnique ou une autofiction au féminin ? L’exemple des écrivaines de la diaspora iranienne
Memory(-ies) of Exile: Towards an Ethnic Autobiography or a Feminine Autofiction? The Example of Iranian Diasporic Writers

Summary/Abstract: This article seeks to demonstrate that there is a particular quality of the writings of Iranian Diaspora authors. Women who were forced to leave their homeland chose the language of the host country to express the traumatic experience of the (self-)exile, the process of assimilation to the foreign land and their gradual integration into it. Autobiographical texts ranging from pure autobiography to autobiographical novels form a species of female writing that simultaneously traces the literary production of an entire generation of exiles.
