Abstract:
This paper will discuss two search memoirs with widely divergent results by British Jeremy Harding and American Lori Jakiela, in which the memoirists recount discoveries about their adoptive parents, as well as their birth parents. While in both cases the adoptions are same-race, both provide material for analysis of class and class mobility. Both searchers discover that the adoption, in more blatant ways than usual, was aimed at improving the parents’ lives—impressing a rich relative or distracting from the trauma of past sexual abuse—rather than benefiting the adoptee. They also discover the

Abstract:
This paper explores the notion of nostalgia in two recent Swedish narratives of transnational adoption: Christina Rickardsson’s Sluta aldrig gå, 2016, (published in English as Never Stop Walking in 2017), and Cilla Naumann’s Bära barnet hem (“Carrying the Child Home”, 2015). The two narratives deal with adoption from South America to Sweden, include autobiographical content, and enable a comparison between an adoptee memoir (Rickardsson) and a parent-authored text (Naumann). Both texts center on maternal images, but the analysis suggests that Rickardsson’s narrative echoes the borderland nosta

Abstract:
This contemporary Kleinian memoir explores the possible existence of an intrapsychic, adoption-specific preoedipal triad including child, birth mother, and adoptive mother that can shape the emerging mind. As an intrapsychic construct, the adoption triad comes to exist in the infantile mind, requiring that adoptees contend with four additional part-object maternal representations: a villain (bad birth mother), a victim (good birth mother), a rescuer (good adoptive other), and a thief (bad adoptive mother). The psychic complexities of this possible adoption triad are explored, with an eye to ho

Abstract:
The initial Swedish discourse of transnational adoption as a win-win situation has changed over its more than 60-year-long history. This article aims to trace and present some themes in this history, with a particular focus on the public debate and the different narratives that representatives of the adoption triangle—the adoptees, the adoptive parents, and the biological parents—tell when dealing with transnational and transracial adoption as a personal and political phenomenon. The article draws from an ongoing study of discourses and narratives of transnational adoption based, above all, on

Abstract:
Political memoirs and autobiographies are an increasingly prolific form of political and historiographical communication. Few attempts have been made to explain why Australian politicians have written these books, beyond the observation that they can be self-serving narratives. This paper identifies some of the major causes of and motivations for political memoir writing in Australia, adopting the Rudd-Gillard Labor cabinet as a collective case study. Using a combination of empirical, literary and oral research methodologies, I argue that political memoirs are manifestations of political and h

ABSTRACT: Via analysis of two literary texts, this article explores the tensions between the fantasy-oriented activity of imagining family life, and the modes of reality-testing encountered in processes of adoption. First, I offer a sustained and close reading of Patrick Flanery's memoir of a failed adoption, The Ginger Child: On Family, Loss and Adoption . This text offers itself as a case study of sorts, a candid and challenging account of the difficulties of navigating the British adoption system as a queer, immigrant man.

When I was thirty-three years old, I discovered I was an adoptee. In this memoir of secrecy and love, betrayal and redemption, I reflect on my early experiences as a doted-on only child firmly rooted in the abundant love of my adoptive family, my later struggles with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, my marriage to a fellow-adoptee, my discovery of my own adoption and the subsequent reunion with my birth family, my navigation through the thrills and tensions of newly complicated family dynamics, and my witness to God's perfect timing through it all.

I was told by my father in December 1988 that I was adopted. I was twenty-three years old, near the end of a medical degree, and had just announced to my parents that I thought it best I leave home because of the intense conflict between my father and myself. This ‘revelation’ of my adoptive status was a life-changing event that I have struggled with since that day, but which also explained many things about our family. It is in response to this revelation that I endeavoured to write a memoir that would explain our family dynamic, to both myself and others, and provide what might be a useful r

These adoptees may not espouse happiness and gratitude about adoption all of the time nor are they all angry and ungrateful.

Abstract More than autobiography and memoir, confessions focus upon questionable behaviour. In the nineteenth century, the genre bends away from religious confessions and towards sensational revelations from public figures, including Death-Bed Confessions of the Late Countess of Guernsey (1806) and Confessions of an Oxonian (1826). Closely related are criminals’ self-disclosures, such as The Life and Confessions of Peter Dixon, the Celebrated Body Snatcher, and Confessions of an Unexecuted Femicide (both 1827).

Abstract:
The chapter looks at the unexpected diversity of women’s roles in determining succession to heirship and preserving family lineages over time. Contrary to common assumptions, the inability to produce an heir biologically by no means condemned a lineage to extinction, or a woman to divorce, due in great part to the prevalence of adoption of heirs. The chapter examines the normative discourse on succession, analyzes statistics on heir adoption, and studies family succession strategies as narrated in the diaries, letters, and memoirs of Inoue Tsūjo, Kuroda Tosako, and Itō Maki.
