Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Drawing on recent autobiography criticism and theory, this course examines ways that life-writing by a cross-section of mostly 20th Century American authors continues to expand and re-vision the "conditions and limits of autobiography" in the western literary tradition. Topics we will explore include the relationship between storytelling and self re-creation; the precarious role of memory in autobiographical practice; and the politics of race/ethnicity, gender, class, and sexuality both in shaping personal experience and in determining modes of self-representation 1.00 units, Seminar
