The analysis focuses on discourse of intimacy that, as an imaginary experience, founds a language effect that subjectifies writing through individual memory. The study of these texts allows us to observe how the "writings of the self" promote discourses of intimacy that, as affective figurations of an individual memory and personal identity, constitute a form of effective access to the understanding and comprehension not only of one's own individuality but also of the collective, favoring, in this way, possibilities to access a new historical consciousness. This project is part of a theoretical approach that has been at work in literary criticism for several decades. The so-called "return of the author" (Barthes, 1987; Blanchot 1992- 1977; Deleuze, 1996; Foucault1999; Agamben, 2005), has, among its most relevant methodological consequences, renewed interest in autobiographical writings, and in the representations and figurations of the private and intimate. El artículo presenta un breve resumen de las principales líneas de acción que lleva adelante el proyecto de investigación “Intimidad y memoria en las escrituras del yo”, en un corpus significativo de textos de la literatura europea contemporánea. En ellos es posible advertir un especial discurso de la intimidad que, en tanto experiencia imaginaria, funda un efecto de lenguaje que subjetiviza la escritura a través de la memoria individual. Los estudios de estos textos permiten observar cómo las “escrituras del yo” promueven especiales discursos de la intimidad que en tanto figuraciones afectivas de una memoria individual e identidad personal constituyen una forma de acceso efectivo al entendimiento y comprensión no solo de la propia individualidad, sino además de lo colectivo favoreciendo, de este modo, posibilidades para acceder a una nueva conciencia histórica. Este proyecto se inscribe dentro de un movimiento que recorre desde hace varias décadas la teoría literaria, el llamado “retorno del autor” (Barthes, 1987; Blanchot 1992, 1977; Deleuze, 1996; Foucault, 1999; Agamben, 2005) movimiento que tiene, entre sus consecuencias metodológicas más relevantes, el interés creciente por las escrituras autobiográficas, en particular, por las representaciones y las figuraciones de lo privado y lo íntimo.
