Abstract EN

This article tackles one of the basic theories of human identity that is definitely the individual’s sense of “self".

By analyzing it from a purely postmodernist perspective, the ‘Self’ is considered as multifarious and unstable.

In The Accursed, one of Joyce Carol Oates’s most outstanding novels, the idea of the self as homogeneous and cohesive is denounced through exploring the ‘lives’ and ‘selves’ of a number of American historical figures.

Mainly by ‘narrativizing history,’ Oates fuses fictional and fantastical elements within the very ‘real’ moments in history in an attempt to critically unveil some influential ideological assumptions of the time

Abstract FRE

Cet article aborde une théorie fondamentale de l’identité humaine, à savoir le sens de soi.

En l’analysant dans une perspective postmoderniste, le «soi» est considéré comme multiple et instable.

Dans Les maudits, un des romans les plus célèbres de Joyce Carol Oates, l’idée du soi homogène et cohérent est dénoncée en explorant les "vies" et les "soi (s)" de plusieurs personnages historiques américains.

Principalement, en ‘‘racontant l'histoire’’, Oates fusionne des éléments fictionnels et fantastiques dans les moments les plus «réels» de l’histoire pour tenter de dévoiler de manière critique certaines hypothèses idéologiques influentes de l’époque
