This volume examines the ways in which multilingual women authors
incorporate several languages into their life writing. It compares
the work of six contemporary authors who write predominantly in
French. It analyses the narrative strategies they develop to
incorporate more than one language into their life writing: French
and English, French and Creole, or French and German, for example.
The book demonstrates how women writers transform languages to
invent new linguistic formations and how they create new
formulations of subjectivity within their self-narrative. It
intervenes in current debates over global literature, national
literatures and translingual and transnational writing, which
constitute major areas of research in literary and cultural
studies. It also contributes to debates in linguistics through its
theoretical framework of translanguaging. It argues that
multilingual authors create new paradigms for life writing and that
they question our understanding of categories such as "French
literature."
