Abstract
ABSTRACT: It is no coincidence that, in her latest book entitled Love me tender, Constance Debré presents her choice, this “demission de tout” (2020, p. 41) which corresponds to “l’indifférence du néant” (2014, p. 111) identified by Jaquet in the thought of Blaise Pascal. Debré invites us to reflect on the analysis that goes through a course of class defection. The narrator seeks the essential, what remains when one is stripped of everything, even of love. Even of maternal love. It is in this idealistic quest to find the self that would not be determined by social assignment, the self-detached from the multiple social roles that limit, including the mother role, that Debré may find an opening, a little air. In a dispossessed life, of course, but still, full.
RÉSUMÉ : Ce n'est pas une coïncidence si, dans son dernier livre intitulé "Love me tender", Constance Debré présente son choix, cette "démission de tout" (2020, p. 41) qui correspond à "l'indifférence du néant" (2014, p. 111) identifiée par Jaquet dans la pensée de Blaise Pascal. Debré nous invite à réfléchir sur l'analyse qui traverse un parcours de défection de classe. Le narrateur cherche l'essentiel, ce qui reste quand on est dépouillé de tout, même de l'amour. Même de l'amour maternel. C'est dans cette quête idéaliste de trouver le soi qui ne serait pas déterminé par l'assignation sociale, le soi détaché des multiples rôles sociaux qui limitent, y compris le rôle de mère, que Debré pourrait trouver une ouverture, un peu d'air. Dans une vie dépossédée, bien sûr, mais néanmoins, pleine.
