Stories of the Self
Life Writing after the Book
In August NYU Press published Stories of the Self. Life Writing after the Book, by Dr Anna Poletti (Modern and Contemporary Literature). Poletti was interviewed by Henry Jenkins about this new publication.
In an age where our experiences are processed and filtered through a wide variety of mediums, both digital and physical, how do we tell our own story? How do we “get a life,” make sense of who we are and the way we live, and communicate that to others?
Stories of the Self
Stories of the Self takes the literary study of autobiography and opens it up to a broad and fascinating range of material practices beyond the book, investigating the manifold ways people are documenting themselves in contemporary culture.
