« Writing and translating the self. Samuel Beckett and the Case of Company/Compagnie »

Résumé

This study aims to explore how Beckett’s mode of writing the self is related to self-translation and how this allows us to reconsider the issue of autobiography within his work. The first part of the paper introduces the matter. The second one focuses on the understanding of his work as autobiography or fiction. The third part underlines how this issue is problematized within Company, while the last one emphasises the idea that, given the implications of self-writing in his work, the way Beckett practices self-translation infers the existence of a reader who is led to acknowledge the text as fiction.
