For John Forrester, the ‘case’, particularly in its psychoanalytic version, makes possible a science of the particular – knowledge open to the differences of individuals and situations. This article takes up that aspect of Forrester’s account that linked the psychoanalytic case with forms of autobiography – new narrations of that particular self. After Freud, many authors – literary and psychoanalytic – have taken up the challenge of narrating subjectivity in new forms, engaging a quasi-psychoanalytic framework (H. D., Walter Benjamin, Frantz Fanon, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick are examples). Focusing on Luisa Passerini’s text Autobiography of a Generation, which deals with the Italian experience of 1968, the article examines some of the features of such hybrid texts, and argues that psychoanalysis makes a contribution not just to the forms of self-investigation they pursue, but more significantly to the search for a radically new methodology of narration. Such models end up as ‘impossible’ cases, but in so doing they explore new interdisciplinary means for understanding the historical shaping of subjectivity.

对约翰·福雷斯特来说，“案例”，特别是在其精神分析版本中，使得一门特殊的科学成为可能——知识对个人和情况的差异开放。这篇文章讨论了 Forrester 将精神分析案例与自传形式联系起来的那个方面——对那个特定自我的新叙述。在弗洛伊德之后，许多文学和精神分析作家接受了以新形式叙述主观性的挑战，采用了准精神分析框架（HD、沃尔特·本杰明、弗朗茨·法农、伊芙·科索夫斯基·塞奇维克就是例子）。以 Luisa Passerini 的文本《一代人的自传》为中心，该文本涉及 1968 年的意大利经历，文章探讨了此类混合文本的一些特征，并认为精神分析不仅对他们所追求的自我调查形式做出了贡献，而且对寻找一种全新的叙述方法具有更重要的意义。这样的模型最终成为“不可能”的案例，但在这样做的过程中，它们探索了新的跨学科方法来理解主体性的历史塑造。
