Reading Life Writing (New Formations) - Softcover
Life writing now holds a ubiquitous place in contemporary culture rivalling, overlapping and problematising distinctions between the factual records of life history and its fictional counterparts. This special issue responds to the rise and rise of biography, autobiography and memoir in recent decades, a popular explosion which has extended across every segment of a thriving market. Five broad categories frame the issue: the process of recalling and writing the past; the relationship between autobiography and fiction, the ways in which representation negotiates trauma, how to write the autobiography of political movements, and finally the way in which biography as a non theoretical form sets a paradigm for understanding of its own.
