Abstract:
This article deals with the symbolic relationship as it emerges through some autobiographical fictions of the author as a woman. It is through the writing's work that the character of a « daughter » transforms into « a woman » and than an « author-woman ». We will question the transition or break between the familial genealogy and the authors's positions whose filiations may be extended to literary or fictional figures. We have chosen two fictions : first, Una donna (A woman) by Sibilla Aleramo: at the dawn of the XXth century this work constitutes a turn in the women's writing : the narrator tell a woman's itinerary towards freedom and writing, at the cost of the breaking off and desertion of father, son and husband. On the other hand, Elsa Morante's journal, Diario '38 shows, through the dream's writing, some most meaningful figures of a woman's unconscious looking for her voice as an author, beside others belonging to the literary world (Kafka, Rimbaud) who let appear the author's identifications beyond the filial or familial cercle. In conclusion, the symbolic status of these figures comes from their relationship with the writing process : they result form the interiorisation and transformation of the author's genealogies, in a complex and original way.
