In Les Mots (1963–64) Jean-Paul Sartre published identifiable family interiors — the Schweitzer grandfather, the young widow-mother, the child-reader — as a public literary file, a data path distinct from the book’s educational fame and from the Nobel refusal. Nineteenth-century family privacy is not GDPR; the path is still converting others into characters without their pens. The Academy then cited the book; that citation is reception.

Context

Autobiography always names. The welfare issue is a famous adult selling a child’s household as philosophy. Sharing Gallimard’s list does not erase the choice of grain. Anne-Marie Sartre’s later silence is not invented as a lawsuit here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Les Mots privacy is not the Nobel refusal and not the education row as a duplicate. Mixed effects of Les Mots publishes family interiors as a public literary file are separate paths.

Why it matters

Personal-data path of modest weight, medium confidence. The educational Les Mots row remains the split gain.

The contribution type is direct. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
