Je résumerai ce que j’ai proposé dans ce livre, et qui est en réalité fort simple. Nécros (Antiquité), faux mort ou fausse morte (Moyen Âge), mort imparfaite (Encyclopédie), mort clinique ou mort relative maintenant, montrent deux choses. La première c’est qu’on peut se tromper sur les apparences de la mort. La deuxième c’est que ce mort apparent est vivant et non pas mort, car il n’y a pas de vie du mort au sens empirique du terme, quoique la mort puisse être ou n’être pas au sens métaphysique. Or, ce qui complique et obscurcit tout, est la confusion ancestrale de ces survies sous l’apparence de mort, de cette manière de quatrième état de vie (une anesthésie naturelle en quelque sorte) avec une vie du mort, c’est-à-dire cette idée qu’il y a un « état de mort » comme il y a un état de vie (ou plutôt trois états de vie : veille, rêve et sommeil profond). Et que cet état de mort, que les Grecs désignaient par nécros, les superstitions médiévales par fantôme, revenant, est intermédiaire entre la vie et la négation complète et totale de la vie qu’est thanatos pour les Grecs ou, pour les chrétiens et les religions en général, la résurrection ou vie future. J’ai tenté de voir ce qu’il y de positif dans des analyses dont l’apparence est négative, idéologiquement fausse et irrationnelle.

Much has been written on Simone de Beauvoir, one of France's leading intellectual figures of the 20th century. The sheer volume of her autobiographical writings testifies to her indefatigable questioning of the nature of existence and her personal and public engagement in the world over the best part of a century. This study aims to re-evaluate her extensive autobiographical œuvre, exploring its place in relation to the French autobiographical canon, and in the light of recent theorisations of autobiography. It presents readings which engage critically with existentialism, feminist theory, and autobiography studies generally, in particular focusing on the question of 'autothanatography', a term developed by theorists such as Jacques Derrida and Louis Marin. A new reading of the autobiographies via the lens of thanatos is presented with questions of gender in mind, and the nature of autobiography as genre is also explored more fully with particular attention paid to narrative voice. Close readings of the autobiographical œuvre combine with contextual details, critical overviews and links to recent developments in critiques of Beauvoir's fiction and philosophy. The study would be of particular interest to scholars in the following areas: 20th century French literature and culture; Autobiography studies; Literary theory; existentialism; Women's studies.

The cultural ideal of motherhood in Victorian Britain seems to be undermined by Victorian novels, which almost always represent mothers as incapacitated, abandoning or dead. Carolyn Dever argues that the phenomenon of the dead or missing mother in Victorian narrative is central to the construction of the good mother as a cultural ideal. Maternal loss is the prerequisite for Victorian representations of domestic life, a fact which has especially complex implications for women. When Freud constructs psychoanalytical models of family, gender and desire, he too assumes that domesticity begins with the death of the mother. Analysing texts by Dickens, Collins, Eliot, Darwin and Woolf, as well as Freud, Klein and Winnicott, Dever argues that fictional and theoretical narratives alike use maternal absence to articulate concerns about gender and representation. Psychoanalysis has long been used to analyse Victorian fiction; Dever contends that Victorian fiction has much to teach us about psychoanalysis.
