%X This paper will deal with the use of photographs in several French contemporary autobiographies (Roland Barthes, Annie Ernaux, Denis Roche, Herv¨¦ Guibert, Marguerite Duras). My aim will be to present this corpus of works grafting photographs onto various kinds of texts, works that can be called photobiographies. In the second part, I will analyse several issues raised by this new literary field. In particular I will explain why the use of photographs changes the forms and the conditions of the autobiographical expression. Indeed, photographs problematize the representation and the construction of personal identities.
