| Welcome
to my web site. This site is part of my thesis project that is ongoing
through my studies at the University of Saskatchewan. My focus is on
autobiography and the process of the literature from a private genre
to a public forum. I am interested in tracking questions the public
has regarding depiction of identity and truth of representation. Also,
I am interested in tracing the rise (or what some academics may refer
to as a downfall) of the literature. Social growth and the technical
revolution have greatly influenced today's genre of autobiography just
as the industrial revolution and growing / willowing social beliefs
have shaped it ion the past. Part of the reason I am posting my own
personal journal on the web is to take an active part in my own studies,
and to see how I myself shape my text under the boundaries of this genre. |
"Autobiographers
themselves, of course, are responsible for the problematic reception of
their work, for they perform willy-nilly both as artists and historians,
negotiating a narrative passage between the freedoms of imagination, creation
on the one hand and the constraints of biographical fact on the other" (Eakin 3). |
