This thesis, which takes shape as daily notes, combines a set of poems and a prose text in which the narrator describes the period of adaptation in a new city. The subject serves as a trigger to reflect on the passage of time, throughout weeks and months, through different prisms. By doing so, these poems and fragments subvert, each in their own way, the conventional chronology of diaries, seeking to supplement and to examine their own status. The title of the thesis refers to the notion of fold formulated by Roland Barthes, which describes the moment in which one becomes aware of being at a crossroads, at a turning point, when their other life – a new life – begins. Also according to Barthes, the new life is only possible if this decision brings along a new practice of writing, folded up as self-criticism.
