Excellent- More about Writing Life Writing: Narrative, History, Autobiography
The essays in this collection explore the reasons why we tell our life stories and why others listen to them, focusing on three dimensions: narrative, life writing, and autobiography. Narrative is a social and cultural practice, a mode of cognition, and an expression of physiology. Life writing has historical value, and autobiography now is motivated by digital media and quantum cosmology.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Why do we endlessly recount the tales of our lives? And why do others lend an ear when we do? The essays gathered herein delve into these profound inquiries, exploring three distinct yet interconnected facets of life writing. The first section, titled "Narrative," contends that narrative transcends mere literary expression and encompasses a social and cultural practice, as well as a mode of cognition and an embodiment of our most fundamental physiological nature. The subsequent section, "Life Writing: Historical Forms," makes a compelling argument for the historical significance of the subjective experiences documented in ego-documents. The essays in the final section, "Autobiography Now," identify the primary motivations behind engaging in self-narration in a contemporary era characterized by digital media and quantum cosmology.
