A Philosophy of Autobiography Body & Text

A Philosophy of Autobiography Body & Text

This book offers intimate readings of a diverse range of global autobiographical literature with an emphasis on the (re)presentation of the physical body. The twelve texts discussed here include philosophical autobiography (Nietzsche) autobiographies of self-experimentation (Gandhi Mishima Warhol) literary autobiography (Hemingway Das) as well as other genres of autobiography including the graphic novel (Spiegelman Satrapi) as also documentations of tragedy and injustice and subsequent spiritual overcoming (Ambedkar Pawar Angelou Wiesel). In exploring different literary forms and orientations of the autobiographies the work remains constantly attuned to the physical body a focus generally absent from literary criticism and philosophy or study of leading historical personages with the exception of patches within phenomenological philosophy and feminism. The book delves into how the authors treated here deal with the flesh through their autobiographical writing and in what way they embody the essential relationship between flesh spirit and word. It analyses some seminal texts such as Ecce Homo The Story of My Experiments with Truth Waiting for a Visa I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings A Moveable Feast Night Baluta My Story Sun and Steel The Philosophy of Andy Warhol MAUS and Persepolis. Lucid bold and authoritative this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy literature gender studies political philosophy media and popular culture social exclusion and race and discrimination studies. | A Philosophy of Autobiography Body & Text
