Abstract

[‘For me, only for me, time returns’, muses the eponymous narrator of Italo Svevo’s Confessions of Zeno (1923). Time has returned for me as well in the writing of this book: the war times of my early childhood, now dispersed and magnified on a global scale; the time of my first encounter with Freud’s work in the late 1960s — a Freud that was soon to be contested in the militant, feminist 1970s; the time of my discovery of semiotics as a method of formal, materialist analysis; the time when Marguerite Duras’s film Détruire, dit-elle (1969) and Christian Metz’s reprise, ‘Théoriser, dit-il’ (1975), made cinema an object of study as well as an object of love, and around which the issues of gender, sexuality and politics first coalesced — the time of theory.]
