Abstract

 

The Diary of Anne Frank draws an unparalleled instant for producing individual, institutional and collective subjectivity. In this ambience, a probing analysis of the mediations of subjectification will then be conducted. Apparently, such mediations are rooted in milieus that not only integrate the actants but also mold imaginable places and non-places they are amid (Augé, 2000). Hence, Anne Frank’s faciality (Deleuze & Guattari, 1996) finds place in her diary, between strategies of history and fiction. Noticeably, the Jewish young lady’s textual performance penned in her Secret Annex reveals well-defined constitutions and constant shifts of a potential rhizomatic identity (Deleuze & Guattari, 1995) moved not unlikely by the heterotopias of deviation (Foucault, 2001). The surroundings narrated and experienced by her are also linked to the diasporic complexion (Hall, 2003) capable of allowing the subject to diversify existential belongings under imminent risk of extinction into contexts which go along with mechanisms of survival, tolerance and the maintenance of basic conditions of existence.
