Abstract:
Franz Rosenthal (1914-2003), one of the outstanding scholars of Semitic languages, Arabic and Islamic history of the past century, has described himself as an Orientalist, whose task is “to look beyond the culture in which one is rooted to other cultures whatever their geographical location with respect to Europe, in order to learn about and understand them and to try to spread the knowledge thus acquired”. This simple-sounding approach is qualified by a vast knowledge of the appropriate literary sources and a keen sense for the truly significant topic that characterize all of Rosenthal’s work

Abstract:
Memory is a crucial topic not only for psychology but also for literary studies. The conceptualization of notions as narration, biography or autobiography immediately depends on how memory and the process of remembering are theoretically modeled. This article presents a short survey on concepts of memory, concentrating on constructivist approaches, and their impact on concepts of time, history, and narration in literary studies.

Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the first publication of the volume Anthropology and Autobiography (1992) edited by Judith Okely and Helen Callaway, AJEC 31(1) features an inspiring special issue devoted to this topic, then and now. Starting from the beginning, we learn about the appalling resistance Judith Okely faced when she suggested Anthropology and Autobiography as a theme for the 1989 ASA (Association of Social Anthropologists of the UK) Conference. The idea to include the experience of the fieldworker, his or her emotional reactions, and issues related to gender, age and race

Abstract:
The standard charge activists and scholars make against disability autobiographies is that they reinforce cultural stereotypes and hinder social change. These texts, such critics argue, perpetuate the notion that disability is a personal tragedy that happens to an individual rather than a set of cultural structures and practices that affect many individuals. As a writer and reader of disability autobiography, I believe it is possible to use one's personal experiences to comment on the culture one inhabits. I do not intend here, however, to defend or condemn specific authors or works or to deba

Abstract:
Space is man-made socially constructed locations, without which they cannot have a comfortable life. Reflecting on the life experiences of the people who exist in the margins of the society, autobiography appears to be the appropriate genre that reflects the lived experiences of the characters as they live through them. It reflects not only the author's personal experiences but also the people whom they meet in their lifeworld. In other words, it is a narration of both individual and collective lived experiences.

Abstract:
Peter Brown’s classic essay of 1971, ‘The Rise and Function of the Holy Man in Late Antiquity’, is celebrated for applying the tools of sociology and anthropology to the study of late antique sanctity. It strove to remove holy men from the distorting literary texts through which we know them, and to place them instead in a rich context of everyday concerns. My starting point here, however, is not the essay itself but a no less interesting critique of it subsequently made by the author himself. In 1998, Brown offered a number of pieces of advice he would now give to a younger self embarking on

Abstract:
The formulation of the topic fact and fiction in auto-confession is a result of earlier research in which the greatest theoretical confrontation takes place in the area of autobiographical prose. This paper investigates and explores issues with which contemporary poetics is faced regarding the concepts in question, especially when they coexist within a work concerned either with genre codification or with undefined status (i.e. hybrid genre). Such discussions are often accompanied by great dilemmas on whether auto-confessional texts such as autobiography or autobiographical prose should be con

The article discusses research perspectives in the study of Russian pre-modern first-person writings that are commonly called autobiographies. Its first part starts with definitions of what is “early russian” and “autobiographical,” briefly introduces six texts, gives a condensed review of the approaches to the study of these texts by literary and cultural historians from 1950s to the present, and concludes with suggestion of some new perspectives to their analysis.

Abstract:
The paper investigates the question of self-translation in the work of Alexander Lenard (Lénárd Sándor). Lenard, a polyglot writer and translator, rewrote his autobiography three times, in three different languages (in German, English, and Hungarian). This process of self-translation created a fascinating web of autobiographical texts, which invite a multiscopic reading. Following in the footsteps of 18th century parodists, Lenard challenges a great number of protocols associated with life-writing. The most important among these is the authority of the proper name as a guarantee of autobiograp

Abstract Within the field of Holocaust Studies the last decade has witnessed a turn to the figure of the perpetrator, who had hitherto received little attention due to ethical, legal and psychological reasons. A similar turn can also be observed in connection with the study of empathy. In this context, the concept of “negative empathy,” intended as a sharing of emotions with morally negative fictional characters, has become an increasingly discussed topic. For research in this area, the novel The Kindly Ones (2006) by Jonathan Littell takes up a privileged position in light of its intrinsic li

Abstract:
Functional neuroimaging studies of autobiographical memory have grown dramatically in recent years. These studies are important because they can investigate the neural correlates of processes that are difficult to study using laboratory stimuli, including: (i) complex constructive processes, (ii) recollective qualities of emotion and vividness, and (iii) remote memory retrieval. Constructing autobiographical memories involves search, monitoring and self-referential processes that are associated with activity in separable prefrontal regions. The contributions of emotion and vividness have been

Abstract:
This chapter presents the main topic of the study and the theoretical and methodological framework used in the book. First, it argues that, so far, the debate concerning blogs has tended to consider them as forms of diary, i.e. non-fiction while few scholars have looked at blogs as a new literary genre. In the Arab world, blogs have mainly been studied as tools for political activism, while some attention has been given to blogs turned into books. Therefore, the theory of ‘autofiction’ is introduced as a possible interpretative framework to understand the literary features of some blogs. Focusing on Arabic literature, the chapter shows that that although the term ‘autofiction’ was coined in France in 1970s, the practice of fictionalizing the self has a long tradition in Arabic literature. Finally, since Internet literature is a relatively new field of research, the chapter briefly illustrates the methodology and challenges adopted in this study, and in particular: the selection of primary sources; the benefits of combining close reading with interviews, and the researcher’s ethical stances concerning Internet material and interviews in time of a popular revolution and military censorship.

Abstract:
The introduction discusses the heterogeneity of Moroccan and Moroccan-born women’s self-referential practices and identifies the resources on which they draw, situating the diverse contexts in/from which they emerge. Women’s auto/biographies are products of the historical, sociocultural, and geopolitical contexts they mobilize and negotiate. These contexts dictate not only the content, but also the choice of the medium –writing, photography, body tattoos, embroidery, orality, and digital media. The introduction exposes these dynamics by unveiling the different media, styles, and languages of women’s auto/biographies in context. In doing so, the introductory chapter establishes the transdisciplinarity of my project as well as the critical routes I use to approach the topic including postcolonial and postmodern theories, transnational feminism, autobiography, and testimony.

Abstract:
For the most part, when the topic of Faulkner and African American literature is discussed, the intellectual conversation is primarily concerned with the undeniable influence of Faulkner’s fiction on black novelists. However, this chapter focuses on the major impact of the African American migration novel in the early Jim Crow era on Faulkner’s work, particularly Light in August and Absolom, Absolom! While the peripatetic, rootless, and often mixed-race characters of such novels by black authors as Pauline Hopkins’s Contending Forces, Paul Laurence Dunbar’s The Sport of the Gods, James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, Jean Toomer’s Cane, and Nella Larsen’s Quicksand informs the creation of the protagonists/speakers of much modernist U.S. fiction and poetry; it is in Faulkner’s work, with possible exception of Gertrude Stein’s “Melanctha,” that one sees the clearest adaptation of the characters and cultural geography of the early black migration narrative.

Abstract:
Female creatives like Jackie Hill-Perry have leveraged spoken word, largely rooted in Black performance practices to speak openly online about a range of body-centered topics. This chapter explores, through the life and ministry of Jackie Hill-Perry, how creatives take on or “wear” hip hop in physically located and online spaces as a way of working out bodily dissonance. A certain sexual intimacy at the root of their styles of dress undergirded the attempts of both Juanita Bynum and Hill-Perry at making the Black female body visible. This chapter answers the question: how is the digital Black Christian female body materially presented and read by female creatives? Two examples of secondary blackness—the prioritizing of other identities over race—in Hill-Perry’s spoken-word poems on YouTube triangulated with her rap lyrics and her autobiography are used to answer this question.

Abstract:
This chapter develops on topics explored in the seminar the author has curated and facilitated for the Global Photographies Network in late 2021 entitled ‘Urgent Stories: Lived Experiences of a Changing planet', bringing together photography and arts practice, eco-philosophy, science and literature. Whilst the six-day seminar series looked to address the question of ‘What climate collapse asks of us?', this chapter looks to build a cohesive understanding of how photographic practice can respond to environmental change by focusing on ecological awareness and storytelling in autobiography- and lived experienced-based work. Drawing from the photographic work of seminar participants, the chapter weaves the elements of memory, archive, and relationship between oral storytelling and photographs into this discussion. Consequently, this chapter argues that storytelling based on first person accounts of ecology and change is not only a valuable tool in climate action, but urgent work in shaping heightened ecological consciousness.

Abstract:
This chapter describes some of the tools and methods for critically reading life-writing texts, including memoirs and autobiography, with an emphasis on life-writing by health professionals and/or in the context of healthcare. Life-writing texts allow research into the internal and lived experiences of those who provide healthcare, such as physicians and nurses, and those who receive healthcare. Texts by life-writing subjects from different historical periods, geographic locations, genders, diagnoses, and stages and contexts of training can offer shifting perspectives on a range of topics from the development of health professional identity, what it means to be sick, and about how these experiences relate to the practices and institutions of healthcare. Steps in the research process and methods for analyzing life-writing texts are outlined, along with relevant resources. The field of life-writing offers many possibilities for health humanities researchers and can be enriched by bringing interdisciplinary theories to the analysis of life-writing texts.

Full text
Abstract:
As one studies Crumb from the outset of his career to the present, it becomes evident that he has embarked on a massive autobiographical enterprise in which personal, secret “confessions”—in a mode reminiscent of figures as diverse as Saint Augustine, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Henry Miller, and Allen Ginsberg—are made public and merge with the topics to which he is drawn in literature. This Introduction explores Crumb’s traumatic childhood and his early decision to become an artist, the influence of his two brothers on his early intellectual development as well as his rejection of organized religion. The focus then turns to a discussion of Crumb’s role as the genius of the “comix revolution” which was launched during Crumb’s time in San Francisco when Zap magazine was created. The chapter closes with a brief summary of the contents of each chapter. R. Crumb: Literature, Autobiography, and the Quest for Self aims to fill a major gap in contemporary scholarship in the humanities.
