Abstract
Following the conceptions of « Littérature-monde » and World Literatures, Ananda Devi’s novel Indian Tango and autobiography Les Hommes qui me parlent feature the figure of the author, which is fictionalized such that it challenges both the “postcolonial scenography” and “literary posture.” These narratives deal with the symbolic violence that is inherent to any act of narration -notably the suppression of the “subaltern” voice and the issue of gendered writing. The writer’s representation(s) become subordinate to an existential reflection about being and seeming, truth and invention. As literary models, Romain Gary/Émile Ajar and Virginia Woolf further shed light on this analysis and by so doing shift the narrative focal point onto ethical questions about authorship and fiction.
