L’étude de l’identité féminine dans la prose narrative d’Ingeborg Bachmann est à tous égards féconde. En dehors de la simple description de l’univers de la femme et des problèmes auxquels elle est confrontée dans sa quête d’identité, elle a donné l’opportunité de questionner sous un angle sociocritique, l’articulation de l’identité à l’écriture de la femme. Une fois surmontés les écueils liés à l’état fragmentaire de l’ensemble de la prose narrative de Bachmann, ce travail se propose donc de mettre en relief à l’aide d’éléments textuels, la thématique de l’angoisse existentielle, du mal-être, de l’étroitesse ou de la claustration. Aussi, cette thèse s’entend-elle somme toute, comme un travail centré sur le discours qui vise à mettre en relation la problématique de l’identité féminine avec les questions actuelles de la perméabilité des genres sexuels. Ce travail nous permettra entre autre d’expliciter le caractère engagé du discours bachmannien centré sur la reconnaissance de l’écriture de la femme. Les résultats obtenus nous conduiront à conclure que l’identité féminine chez Bachmann échappe à tout enfermement. Aussi son écriture se soustrait-elle à la rigidité des frontières entre genres sexuels et genres littéraires / Although seemingly traditional, the study of the female identity in the prose of Ingeborg Bachmann is in all respects fruitful. It didn’t simply aim to describe the universe of the woman; it gave the opportunity of questioning under a linguistic, intertextual and sociocritic view, the articulation of the identity to the writing of the woman. Once you overcome the shelves related to the fragmentary state of the whole narrative prose of Bachmann, this work then proposes itself to highlight with literal elements, the themes of angst, the discomfort and the narrowness or confinement. Therefore, this thesis comes together as a work centered on the speech with the objective to put the problematic of the female identity in relation with the current question of the permeability of the sexual kinds, via a textual and social examination. First of all, this work will allow us to explain the committed nature of Bachmann’s speech, centered on the recognition of the female writing. The results obtained through the literal analysis will lead us to conclude that Bachmann’s woman’s identity is out of confinement. Therefore, her writing escapes from the rigidity of the boundaries between sexual kinds and literary genres

I trace Jacques Derrida's notions of self and truth in Circumfession. This text paints a gruesome self-portrait depicting the inescapable violence of subjectivity. The self is born in blood. Derrida courageously confesses to being a casualty of this lovelessness. Similarly, exploring the depth of patriarchy's inscriptions requires facing the painful truth of my bleeding self. Investigating these wounds seems to reopen them, making me complicit in my own oppression. Drawing from the rich narrative of Ingeborg Bachmann's novel Malina, I allow feminists such as Helene Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Drucilla Cornell and bell hooks to engage Derrida's notions of the wounded and wounding self. Beginning in this bloody place, they attempt to write a way-out of the disempowering systems of subjectivity to which the female self seems confined. They write in order that love will bleed some light on the struggle for empowered female subjectivity, re-writing the self as a space of love rather than violence.
