The present literary production in France indicates the return of the subject, which has been proclaimed dead since the New Novel. With the proliferation of autobiographical texts in the nineteen-eighties, a generalized movement towards an aesthetic genre valuing this particularity was noticed. This proliferation renders the scope of this literary form immense. It covers a range from strictly historical texts, including autobiographies, memoirs and intimate journals to semi-referential texts, qualified as autobiographical fictions, "autofictions" or again "factual fictions". Midway between the autobiography and the novel, autofiction, this little studied literary practice, inaugurates a new writing form which we believe constitutes one of the boldest modern incarnations of the writing of the self. This thesis considers the possibility of a correlation existing in the problematics of autofiction and those of Jewishness in writing. Already off-centered, the Jewish writer, can be seen as the emblematic figure of the writer himself. Drawing on a corpus of four writers (Serge Doubrovsky, Marcel Benabou, Regine Robin and Patrick Modiano), we examine the structure, as well as its functionning rules, woven through texts sharing Jewish authorship. These writers pose, each from his own specific perspective, the problem of Jewishness in writing. This correlation brings to light the exemplary nature of these texts with regards to the more generalized and thus far unprecedented strategy that is autofiction. The intersection of these historically marked problems, autofiction and Jewishness in writing, leads us inevitably to further reflection upon the tragedy of modernity, the Shoah and its omnipresent shadow in the works of our corpus.

La narrazione letteraria autobiografica si presenta come un genere di difficile definizione e quasi ai confini della letteratura, caratterizzato da un insieme inestricabile di testualità, referenzialità e costruzione. il narratore autodiegetico si pone il complesso obiettivo di riordinare la propria storia di vita, dando un senso ai ricordi, nel momento stesso in cui ne decide l'ordine e la composizione. Ci proponiamo qui di rintracciare le origini del genere autobiografico ed evidenziare la continuità della tradizione dei fondatori in alcuni casi rappresentativi della narrazione letteraria autobiografica del ventesimo secolo. / Autobiography is difficult to define as a literary genre and is almost at the boundaries of literature. It is marked by an inextricable mixture of textuality, referentiality and construction. The autodegetical narrative aims at giving an order to a life story, thus attributing a meaning to memories in the same time as it defines their order and composition. We intend to trace back the origin of the autobiographical genre and underline the continuity of tradition in some representative examples of literary autobiographical narrative of the twentieth century.
