Abstract

The theme of this paper is the shaping of the feminine self through self-reference, understood as a theoretical and historical problem of modernity. We will explore the question of modern subjectivity as a sign of intrinsic deviation from feminine difference-resistance in the comparative-contrastive journals of the femmes de lettres Aline De Lens (1881-1925) and Catherine Pozzi (1882-1934). We examine, in the composition of C. Pozzi’s and A. De Lens’s texts, the conditions in which the diary, thought of as a singular and non-narrative literary form (self-portrait), whose validation is found in the construction of a sincere truth, can become self-reflective.
