The French writer Édouard Louis has stood out for a literary production marked by the blending of autobiographical and fictional elements. This work proposes a reflection on the author’s autofictional writing, especially through his book “Changer: méthode” (Mudar: Método), which will serve as the empirical object of this dissertation, understood as a communicational object and a field of tension between literature, communication, and consumption practices. The research seeks to understand how, in the production of this writing, the symbolic consumption of lived experience is configured – experience understood, according to Raymond Williams, as the knowledge formed from past experiences. The adopted methodology is structural narrative analysis, as proposed by Roland Barthes, combined with a theoretical reflection that articulates concepts from authors such as Denílson Lopes and Edmund White, for whom experience and writing are inseparable dimensions, especially in the context of gay writing. The dissertation aims to contribute to the understanding of the relationships between narrative, subjectivity, and symbolic consumption in contemporary literature, and its relation to Communication.
