This book considers first-person writing and the related questions of the formation of the self, the rise of the individual and the private/public debate, and places these considerations within a multicultural perspective. It compares the characteristics of European or Occidental personal writings (such as diaries, memoirs and autobiographies) with the written forms of personal, intimate and autobiographical self which have existed and continue to exist within various Asian, African or Near Eastern cultures. The book constitutes a call for a global history of personal writing.
Ce livre s'interesse, dans une perspective multiculturelle, a l'ecriture de soi, et aux questions connexes de la formation meme du soi, de l'emergence de l'individu ou encore du debat sur l'apparition des spheres privees et publiques. Il compare les caracteristiques de l'ecrit personnel tel qu'il a eu cours en Europe ou dans les pays occidentaux (comme les journaux intimes, les memoires, les autobiographies, entre autres) avec les formes ecrites du soi personnel, intime ou autobiographique telles qu'elles ont pu exister, et existent, dans differentes cultures asiatiques, africaines ou proches-orientales. Ce livre lance egalement un appel pour une histoire globale des ecrits personnels.
