La subjectivité du biographe

« The Biographer's subjectivity » The title was first : « Biographer in so far as autobiographer », with the purpose of detecting the mystery of creativity ; but it is impossible without analysis, that is to say that the identification may be under control. The knowledge of psychoanalysis well shows how basically and intimately the creator's properties are interdependant, how the positive and the negative are mutually made. So, it's necessary to study a thorough one writer into his incomprehensible and disturbing feats, as symptoms in the states of production ; and then, a case history of « pathology » in connection with exceptionally gifted authors is possible. The creation power can be visible especially by the displacements, compensations, deliveries, acting out, or even the queerest ways.Hildesheimer Wolfgang, Hartje Hans, Mouchard Claude.
