This comparative study of the work of Colette and Marguerite Duras
analyses the complex and intricate links between identity and
narrative, and challenges recent theoretical discussion in both
literary and psychoanalytic domains. Exploring the textual
preoccupations that Colette and Duras shared -- in particular their
concerns with gender relations, with the genesis of the woman
writer, and with the fraught but fascinating bonds between mothers
and daughters and lovers -- this analysis highlights how the
profoundly different perspectives of Colette and Duras mark out
space for a new interrelation of self and other; an interrelation
that emphasises the enigmatic territories of consciousness such as
fantasy and memory, and the significant collision of subjectivities
in erotic, desiring and familial relations. Working with the most
recent and innovative developments in performative theory and
Kristevan psychoanalysis, this book offers a new reading of
subjectivity through the creative interplay of theory and text.
