L’autobiographie dans les études culturelles : Parler de soi a-t-il une valeur méthodologique?

Povzetek

How could speaking of oneself be a methodological challenge in the humanities? The paper focuses on cultural studies as a new way of arguing about identity issues. Our thesis is that speaking of oneself entails neither a lack of objectivity nor an overflow of selfishness, but the requirement of self-reflexiveness. As an observer is not neutral but interacts with his field, he thus has to be a aware of his own background and explain it with fairness. So speaking of oneself could be a condition of truth in the humanities.
