L’ autopoiesis dans l’expérience limite : le cas de dessins de la déportation

Abstract

During their imprisonment in the Nazi concentration camps, some deportees froze their daily lives by drawing. This article is mainly interested in the creation of the self in this type of experience, defined in a preliminary way as « limit ». After an introduction about the daily life in the camps, we analyse how the clandestine creation of graphic works is configured as a form of resistance and self-construction.
