Anna de Noailles - médiatrice entre les cultures
Anna de Noailles – an author between cultures

Summary/Abstract: If Anna de Noailles is repeatedly apostrophised by Proust as a muse and staged in paintings as a mysterious oriental beauty, her poems and also her late autofiction also show more and more clearly how fragile this construction is: in Le livre de ma vie it becomes clear how the author herself participates in this performance on the one hand, but on the other hand how she also tries to evade the image that society paints of her and to establish herself as an author between cultures, who emphasises more strongly the contingency and mobility of modernity.
