This study examines how Vinciane Despret, philosopher and ethologist, questions autobiographical narrative forms through a zoopoetic approach. In Autobiographie d’un poulpe et autres récits d’anticipation, the French-speaking Belgian writer imagines animals as literary creators using non-anthropocentric narrative strategies. Drawing on Haraway, Morizot, Derrida, and others, Despret reconfigures self-narrations, allowing animals to emerge as subjects of poetic and relational writing. Building on the reflections of Anne Simon and Sophie Milcent-Lawson on animal creativity and expressiveness, as well as Pierron’s concept of ecobiography, this study shows how Vinciane Despret deconstructs the anthropocentric basis of self-writing to reveal the epistemological and philosophical stakes of rethinking subjectivity as an encounter between humans and animals.
