| Summary: | The author comes back to Daniel Fabre’s remarks about his own 2003 book, La Conversion d’Hermann le Juif. Autobiographie, histoire et fiction (English translation: The Conversion of Herman the Jew : Autobiography, History and Fiction in the Twelfth Century, Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press (Middle Ages Series), 2010). Their debates were published by the journal L’Homme, 2010/3-4 (n° 195-196). Deeply concerned with "biographical writings", namely writings of "memory painters" , and with the autobiographical orientation of his own work as an ethnologist, D. Fabre underlined the main features of autobiographies: they focuse on a turning point (the true meaning of conversion), they offer a meeting with someone labeled as a world individual, they are addressed to successive publics, they are both reality and fiction. |
