Autobiography, Description, Places, Physical presenceAbstract
The text intends to present an autobiographical project developed by French writer Georges Perec (1936-1982), in which his physical presence was a decisive factor to observe and describe different places in Paris. Perec, while walking through the city or sitting in a café, creates an oblique autobiography, from the observation of the other and the surroundings: his present body becomes a character in these narratives and descriptions, since it is inserted in this series of facts and events that will be motivators for the reconstruction of memory, both personal and belonging to a large part of his generation.Downloads
