السيرة الذاتية العربية بين البوح و التكتم

Abstract EN

The autobiographic Discourse between revelation and ention.

Writing autobiography in Arabic literature, is advancing slowly; it is not always accorded the priority ranking- on the level of creativity and criticism- comparing to other narrative genres.

According to a group of critics, it is due to its direct and superficial character, dominated by its historical and realistic side, on the expense of the creative one.

But the real and objective reason of this lack is-of first degree-due to the writer's suspicion toward self revelation to the other, especially within social and religious authority, that bar him from reading and revealing self authentic deepness, close to the real situation.
