This article shows the conditions of the elaboration, and production, of writings. This work analyzes the relationship between the autos, the I, the self ―inseparable from the bios, life as an experience that the body goes through ―and the graphein, the act of writing, the written form, at once text and narrative. This article interrogates the “I” who knows the identification. Autobiography is an assembly of identities, which requires the readability of oneself. However, the relationship to the language as much as oneself is aporetic because the “I” is placed between the impossibility of owning oneself and language or of appropriating it all in forming some “I” in language and life. The autobiographical writing is considered as a relationship in translation between “I,” “I” and writing, not as a homogeneous narrative provided by the identity of the narrator and the author. It concerns the analysis of the otobiographies through which Derrida analyzes the relationship between the writing and the question of the proper name. This analysis is another approach to autobiographical writing. Autobiographical writing, an account of an individual’s story, reveals the writing of or/and for life.
