Objets surannés et vieillissement dans le récit de filiation Mémé de Philippe Torreton

Abstract

Our study focuses on an elderly individual who represents a bygone era still perceptible in their intimate environment. Thirty years after the death of his grandmother, the author revisits her possessions and habits, creating a portrait of a modest and altruistic woman. Through these examinations, the author realizes how his grandmother has forged his personality and prepared him to face the contingencies of existence. As a result, he is better able to recognize himself within her lineage.
