| description | Based on Simone de Beauvoir’s Memoirs, this article studies the way chapters organize the “partial totalization” of experience, which functions both as a recapitulation and reconfiguration of the significance of life. The distribution in chapters varies according to the specific issue of each volume: it underlines the novelistic dimension of Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, emphasizes the dialectical issues of The Prime of Life—which dramatizes the turning points of her existence while chronicling an era—and Force of Circumstances—where the rhetoric structure balances the narrative proliferation—, and shows the challenges of synthesis in All said and done. As a structure, the chapter shows the evolution of an intimate and political relationship with time, and with the form of a life which is at first characterized by a dynamic freedom, until it reaches its melancholic conclusion. |
