The authoress attempts at defining the notion of 'self-fiction'/'auto-fiction', taking a source understanding of it as her starting point. She follows up the Serge Doubrovski concept through references to Jacques Lacan's modern autobiography and psychoanalysis, and presents self-fiction as a result of combination of the autobiographic subject with a subject of unawareness.

A theoretical commentary to the famous definition of 'self-fiction' (also referred to as 'auto-fiction'). The author analyses his own novel 'Fils', drawing our attention to the point at which the autobiographical project collapses whilst the subject spinning out a narrative about himself gets transferred into a self-fiction register, under the pressure of language.

The paper deals with the “auto-fiction” as one of the means of the self-writing in the contemporary Québec fiction. The “auto-fiction” is considered in both Québec and French socio-political and literary contexts. While being frequently used, especially in francophone environment, the notion stays vague, referring to the common practice of transgressing the boundaries between the real and literary worlds, resulting in a fictional account of one´s own life and the blending of fiction and faction. The genre, having also cognitive and therapeutic functions, enables authors to reflect upon and to render the questions of being and writing. The means by which contemporary authors explore the realm of the “auto-fiction”, as well as its manifestations in the novel are analysed on the example of novels written by Régine Robin and Nelly Arcan.

The paper deals with the fictionalized reminiscent narration (so-called auto-fiction) in J. M. Coetzee’s loose trilogy Boyhood (1997), Youth (2002) and Summertime (2009). The auto-fictional nature of Coetzee’s books is based on a double, intersecting pact between the author and the reader: on the one hand, the reader is instructed to see the narrative as a true depiction of the author’s life, but on the other hand the narrative contains marks of fictionalization, which call this depiction into question or cancel it. By this tension, Coetzee thematises noetic questions of the nature of human memory and identity, and reflects on the very core of auto-biographical writing. In addition, the paper briefly discusses Coetzee’s conception of so-called autrebiography.
