Regard for the other : autothanatography in Rousseau, De Quincey, Baudelaire, and Wilde /

This work focuses on autothanatography, the writing of one's death. The study also argues that autobiography is aporetic, not or not only a matter of a subject strategizing with language to produce an exemplary identity but a matter also of its responding to an exorbitant call to its death.
