Summary/Abstract: The author comes up with a theoretical proposal to extract autoanalysis from autobiography. At the crossroads of psychoanalysis, poststructualism and the affect theory concepts, autoanalysis shall be based on deepened relation with oneself, in opposition to the classical autobiography, which stays only on the surface level of cognition. Intimate theory of literature by Roland Barthes opens up to this type of area of distinction. The author focuses on the affect of love, which helps her present unexpected stimulus of getting to know one self and simultaneously define the auto-analytic perspective of literature research.
