This study seeks to understand the principal elements of the autosociobiography, a term which is not widely recognized in the literary world. This term is usually associated with the author Annie Ernaux and her book La place (1983). The main search question is to try identifying the criteria to determine if a given literally work can be classified as an autosociobiography. The study is drawn upon the theory of the autobiobiographical pact of Phillipe Leujeune and Pierre Bourdieu’s social theory The Distinction (1979). To identify the elements of the autosociobiography, this work explores the recent dialogues of Frédéric-Yves Jeannet around the works of Annie Ernaux in 2003 and it will involve several studies on the same subject. The result shows five different elements; the first one is the flat writing characterized by its simplicity and avoids the subjectivity and feelings. The second one is the class defector or the class mobility. The third one promotes the total reject of the fiction or autofiction. The fourth is the impersonal “I” which is a technique that uses an individual narrative way with an intention to reach the collective audience. The last one is the unique style of writing the life and living the writing. Moreover, the study confirms the results mentioned above with a projection of the identified elements on the work La place (1983) to deepen the understanding of the subject.
