Ces dernières années, le débat autour de l'écriture à la première personne et le statut du « moi » n’a cessé d’alimenter la critique. Les analyses présentées ici – portant sur Érasme, Rabelais, Montaigne et plusieurs poètes du XVIe siècle – abordent deux notions étroitement liées, celle de «première personne» et celle d'«intentionnalité». James Hegelson ne reprend pas les nombreuses études concernant l’évolution du« moi » unifié, conscient de lui-même, mais s’intéresse plutôt à l’hypocrisie de ce « je » et aux voies détournées qu’emprunte l’auteur. Cette approche permet ainsi d’appréhender autrement la mise en texte de la première personne et la position éthique qu'elle occupe.

This text is an examination of Cuban diasporic novels since 1980, critically examining the autobiographical elements of the novels and the authors who wrote them. It contributes to studying the particularities of Cuban literature produced by Cuban writers published beyond the nation's boundaries. From the beginning the author defines the difference between diaspora and exile. The text then studies Cuban writers outside of the nation taking into consideration the variations which occur in their life experiences. While studying the authors in three different periodic phases, the author discovers

The emergence of vernacular allegories in the middle ages, recounted by a first-person narrator-protagonist, invites both abstract and specific interpretations of the author's role, since the protagonist who claims to compose the narrative also directs the reader to interpret such claims. Moreover, the specific attributes of the narrator-protagonist bring greater attention to individual identity. But as the actual authors of the allegories also adapted elements found in each other's works, their shared literary tradition unites differing perspectives: the most celebrated French first-person allegory, the erotic Roman de la Rose, quickly inspired an allegorical trilogy of spiritual pilgrimage narratives by Guillaume de Deguileville. English authors sought recognition for their own literary activity through adaptation and translation from a tradition inspired by both allegories. This account examines Deguileville's underexplored allegory before tracing the tradition's importance to the English authors Geoffrey Chaucer, Thomas Hoccleve, and John Lydgate, with particular attention to the mediating influence of French authors, including Christine de Pizan and Laurent de Premierfait. Through comparative analysis of the late medieval authors who shaped French and English literary canons, it reveals the seminal, communal model of vernacular authorship established by the tradition of first-person allegory.
