TEMPS ET MÉMOIRE DANS SI LE GRAIN NE MEURT D’ANDRÉ GIDE
TIME AND MEMORY IN IF THE GRAIN DOES NOT DIE BY ANDRE GIDE

Summary/Abstract: The reconstruction of the experience in autobiographical texts supposes a permanent recourse by the author to all the factors which can ensure the cohesion and the authenticity of the story. Time and memory are essential phenomena of the autobiographical process, but both are at the perceptual, therefore subjective, level, which fundamentally influences the mode of organization of the story. Our aim is to study precisely these effects produced by the individual perception of time and by the particular functioning of memory on the narrative construction of Gide's autobiography, Si le grain ne meurt.
