THE AMBIVALENT NATURE OF INTIMATE WRITING. PRIVATE DIARY BETWEEN ORDINARY PRACTICE AND LITERATURE

Like a chameleon that adopts different shades to camouflage itself, but also to communicate, the private diary is considered a subjective text without a fixed position, constantly oscillating between history (reality) and literature. The two poles between which this multiform writing constantly moves have become the central subject of academic research in the field of diarism, following which two positions become important for the present study. The distinct theories established show not only the complexity and paradox of the journal, but also the ambivalence of academic researchers. If, on the one hand, the private diary is analyzed as an insignificant discourse, on the other hand, the diary acquires a privileged status, whether it is a literary or an ordinary one.
