Poetry and author's name: between the autobiographical imaginary and autofiction

We propose here to consider various mechanisms of articulation of "who says I" in poetic discourse, specially the use of proper name and specifically a particular class: the name of the author. Its appearance in the textual universe raises fundamental questions to the delimitation of that figure of "ambiguous" identity, that sealed an autobiographical pact without avoiding the fictional one. We think this figure from the new approaches given by the notion of "autofiction" (conventionally applied only to narrative genre), within the vague but still active "autobiographical imaginary" of poetic genre.
