Spatial evacuation and retention of the maternal figure in Une Femme by Annie Ernaux
چکیده EnglishThis article studies the figure of the mother in Annie Ernaux’s Une Femme (1988) by tracing her presence across the different spatial dimensions, both real and imaginary, in the novella. To this purpose, the research relies on the dialectical pairs and spatial terms presented in antinomies by Jean Weisgerber in L’Espace Romanesque (1978). Weisgerber believes that no space is truly given to us, and that the reader must uncover the author’s system of demonstration and discern the link established between characters and their environment. Following his lead, this research examines how Ernaux’s perspective on her mother’s existence—who, at one stage of her life, suffers from Alzheimer’s—highlights the expansion and contraction of a person’s life in a world that, on one hand, welcomes, and on the other, excludes them.
