Chalupský, Petr. "Dodging the Literary Undertaker – Biographic Metafiction in Hanif Kureishi’s The Last Word." Prague Journal of English Studies 6, no. 1 (July 26, 2017): 105–22. http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/pjes-2017-0007.

Abstract:
Abstract Hanif Kureishi’s 2014 novel, The Last Word, involves most of the author’s idiosyncratic themes, such as ethnicity, racism, sexual identity, examination of interpersonal relationships and the crucial role of the creative imagination in human life. Its focal concern, however, is to explore the process of writing a literary biography of a living person and the character and dynamics of the relationship between the biographer and his subject - a writer. As such, the novel can be taken as being representative of biographic metafiction, a subcategory of historiographic metafiction, which, following the postmodernist questioning of our ability to know and textually represent historical truth, presents biographic writing critically or even mockingly, rendering its enthusiastic practitioners’ efforts with ironic scepticism. The aim of this article is to present The Last Word as a particular example of biographic metafiction that has all the crucial features of this genre, yet which differs from its predecessors through the complexity and thoroughness of its portrayal of the biographer-biographee relationship.

Abstract:
Communists have no homeland: a portrait of Wanda Wasilewska The paper offers an analysis of a number of biographies of Wanda Wasilewska, written in different historical periods. An attempt was made to reconstruct the mechanisms that governed the functioning of Wanda Wasilewska’s communist figure in the Polish political discourse; explain how she was perceived by the society, and how it altered in the course of the Polish cultural and historical transformations. A biography of an individual gains coherence as a result of the community’s search for its identity: it serves as a building block for a coherent biography of the entire community. The writing and rewriting of the biography of Wasilewska has long been a kind of “production of communism” in Poland, and communism has been one of the most important aspects of Polish identity in the recent decades. „Komuniści (nie) mają ojczyzny...” Wanda Wasilewska jako polska (anty)bohaterka narodowaAutorka analizuje powstające w rożnych okresach historycznych biografie Wandy Wasilewskiej.

Autorka pokazuje, że tworzenie spójnej biografii jednostki – szczególnie jednostki ważnej w historii danej zbiorowości – dokonuje się w odpowiedzi na tożsamościowe poszukiwania wspólnoty: służy wytworzeniu zbiorowej biografii jako koherentnej całości.

Abstract:
Biography has been for the last fifty years the stepchild of history. Drawing on the author’s personal experience as a biographer and a reader of biographies, the article considers the reasons why most historians avoid biography, examines the three unproductive forms of the genre or “no gos” to be avoided by would-be biographers, discusses the five caveats that should guide those writing biographies, and indicates the ways in which biography can be employed to advance our understanding of the past. Despite being a genre abounding in problems, biography is both viable and valuable, a useful but not a major weapon in the historian’s arsenal.

À l’appui, quelque cinq biofictions, retenues ici pour illustrer trois procès distincts – médiatisation, appropriation, tension – décelables à la plus ou moins grande distance qui marque la relation entre le biographe et son biographé. Affaire d’énonciation plus que d’énoncé, la biographie relève d’un protocole discursif qui exige la représentation de cette relation. Un inventaire de procédés vient soutenir cette affirmation en même temps que mettre au jour les formes qui indexent le déni ou le désir de filiation.

Abstract:
Biographies and Pen-Sketches are two separate branches and lots of these two are available in Urdu Literature as well as writings about these two categories but this article is an effort to find sketches of personalities related to the authors of biographies without whom the author's personality cant be revealed fully. These people may be the author's relatives, friends, peers, observers and other persons who has been with him/her at various stages of author's life. Amongst them may be their parents, children, spouse and other relatives as well as other in the same profession. A good biographer takes are of all the aspects, requirements and dimensions from start to end of an autobiography. A person is central to an autobiography can't be highlighted completely unless different aspects of his/her life are described with reference to other related people. This article focuses on the personalities around the central-to-a-biograpgy person and describes them in the light of various biographies in which he/she is talked about. To support this argument, examples are also taken from the biographies written after the selected biography so that it can be proved that biographers can also tell the importance of presented sketches of other personalities. Although these sketches are not written with any such plan, as compared to formal pen sketches, even then these can be considered important and complete to some extent and are comparable to pen sketches.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper, Sherrill Grace, Findley’s biographer, will examine her biographical practices in the context of Findley’s own memoir, Inside Memory, and his interest in creating fictional auto/biographers and auto/biography in several of his major novels (notably The Wars, Famous Last Words, The Telling of Lies, and The Piano Man’s Daughter). His fictional auto/biographers often use the same categories of document that Findley himself used—journals, diaries, archives—and this reality produces some fascinating challenges for a Findley biographer, not least the difficulty of separating fact from fiction, or, as Mauberley says in Famous Last Words, truth from lies. Like many writers, Findley kept journals all his life, and they are a key source of information for his biographer; however, his way of recording information and his creation of fictional journals means that a biographer (like the readers of his fictional auto/biographers) must tread carefully. While not a theoretical study of auto/biography, in this paper Grace will offer insights into the traps that lie in waiting for a biographer, especially when dealing with a biographee who is as self-conscious an auto/biographer as Findley.

Archival sources, helpful in biographic research, are of particular importance in the case of writers in exile, whose biographies – intersected by war and exile – often remain incomplete to this day and needsupplementing. The biography of Barbara Toporska (1913–1985) is an example of how important it is to study the biography of a writer in the context of interpreting his/her work, both prose and – or perhaps above all – poetry. The paper presents selected examples of various archives used to explore the writer’s least-known period of life – her childhood and youth, as well as the history of the Toporski family, also important to her.

Abstract:
Paper ini mendiskusikan femininitas di dalam auto/biografi selebritas transeksual “Aku Perempuan: Jalan Berliku Seorang Dorce Gamalama” (2005). Auto/biografi ini diterbitkan tahun 2005. Auto/biografi bukan sekadar merayakan karirnya tetapi yang lebih penting lagi adalah untuk menegaskan identitas dirinya sebagai perempuan. Saya berargumentasi bahwa peran feminine yang dituntut dari selebritas perempuan dapat juga di[per]tunjukkan oleh seorang transeksual seperti Dorce Gamalama tetapi dengan tuntutan ditampilkannya bentuk femininitas yang lebih meyakinkan dibandingkan yang dituntut dari selebritas yang secara biologis dilahirkan perempuan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membaca secara dekat, mencermati struktur auto/biografi serta wacana yang ditampilkan. Analisis saya atas auto/biografi Dorce Gamalama ini menunjukkan bahwa persoalan makna perempuan sejati muncul berulang sejalan dengan perjuangan subjek auto/biografis dalam mengklaim identitas feminine yang otentik melalui tubuh, seksualitas dan peran femininnya sebagai ibu dan istri. Penegasan mengenai identitas sebagai perempuan sejati sangat erat dikaitkan dengan Islam sebagai kerangka beragama lokal di Indonesia.Abstract: This paper examines femininity in the auto/biography of a transsexual celebrity, “Aku Perempuan: Jalan Berliku Seorang Dorce Gamalama” (2005). Her auto/biography was published in 2005. The auto/biography is not so much about celebrating her career as it is about endorsing her womanhood. I argue that these feminine roles expected of female celebrities can be performed by a transsexual (M2F) person as Dorce Gamalama but with the need to create a more convincing form of femininity than is required of a “natural” female celebrity. This research is conducted by reading the text closely, paying attention to the structure and the discourse presented. My examination of Dorce’s auto/biography shows that this question about being a real woman recurs as the auto/biographical subject struggles to claim an authentic feminine identity through her body and sexuality as well as through the feminine roles of motherhood and wifehood. This assertion of being a real woman is tightly connected to Islam as Indonesian local religious frame.

Abstract:
La biographie d’écrivain contemporaine (sur un écrivain par un écrivain) – et les nombreux genres voisins : le roman biographique, l’essai biographique, la fiction biographique, le roman du biographe, etc. – se signale par un usage particulier de l’archive qui la distingue des biographies plus conventionnelles signées par des universitaires ou par des journalistes. Dans des ouvrages comme Le Perroquet de Flaubert de Julian Barnes, Rimbaud le fils de Pierre Michon ou Morts imaginaires de Michel Schneider, l’archive n’a pas pour unique fonction d’étayer le récit, d’attester que telle chose ou tel événement a été : elle ne disparaît pas sous la surface narrative du récit de vie, elle est au contraire exhibée, questionnée, quand ce n’est pas triturée ou tout simplement créée, entre fonction d’authentification et fonction de fabulation. L’article que nous proposons poursuit deux objectifs qui en ordonnent les deux parties. Le premier est d’interroger le statut de l’archive dans la praxis biographique en suivant le parcours qui va de sa médiatisation à son appropriation, parcours illustré par plusieurs exemples tirés de notre corpus. Le second objectif, qui consiste à observer de près le travail de l’archive dans une biographie contemporaine, est au fondement de notre deuxième section : l’étude de la biographie d’un « écrivain » pour le moins surprenant, Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov dit Lénine, par Dominique Noguez (1989).

This study seeks to analyse diverse entries of Hays’s collection (Lady Dudleya North, Lady Damaris Masham, Margaret Roper, Aphra Behn, and Lady Rachel Russel) in order to elucidate her concerns as a data collector and biographer, and her techniques as a lexicographer, which are chiefly shaped by her concern about education and by her intended audience: women.

The emergence of writing biographies among Kurds has long history which began in the late of 19th century. Thus, started with Wafaey in 1895 who wrote down his biography but this wasn’t developed until the 90s of twentieth century and their number was countable. After 90s, writing biographies was focused more and developed. This investigation tries to care about biography and its title is (Younis Rauf –Dildar-'s diary between biographies and novelism). Due to lack of scientific investigation about biography in general and having no academic research specifically for Dildar and the importance of this biography in Kurdish literature was among the major reasons for choosing this topic. This article is specified for personal biography of Younis Rauf (Dildar). Although it is a personal biography, it is a highly texted literature and tries to specify the mechanisms which makes this biography to seem as a novel. The field of this investigation is two literature genre which are novel and personal biography.

The article proposes a new reading of Album biograficzne zasłużonych Polaków i Polek wieku XIX (1901–1903) [Biographic album of distinguished nineteenth-century Polish men and women (1901–1903)]. It is proven that this collection of characteristically designed biographies and an unusual collective biography is an important work of Polish humanities of the turn of the twentieth century that can be placed in relation to both Thomas Carlyle’s hero concept and Jacob Burckhardt’s postulates of the ‘anthropologisation of history’. The three selected biograms (Klaudyna Potocka’s by Aleksander Kraushar, August Hiacynt Dziarkowski’s by Józef Peszke and Adolf Pawiński’s by Jan Karol Kochanowski) are case studies allowing for the reconstruction of the dilemmas and text strategies each time specifying the biographer’s unique workshop and the techniques of uncovering it.

Full text
Abstract:
When novelists create their characters and biographers re-create their subjects, both types of writer are either explicitly or implicitly applying a theory of personality through which they investigate the selfhood of the person. However, while many examples of novels and biographies in recent decades have emphasized the similarities between the two genres, especially in the area of character or person as subject, there appears to be no consensus on such a theory. A.S. Byatt is a novelist and biographer who is particularly concerned with the issue of creation or re-creation of the self. In this article, I have turned to a recent metaphorical model of analysis of the self from cognitive linguistics to see if this sheds more light on how personalities can be examined and discussed both by the subjects themselves and by their biographer or creator. Lakoff and Johnson’s elaboration of a body-based linguistic model of metaphor for the self is discussed here and applied to one of Byatt’s most recent novels, one which consciously discusses biography, language and creativity: The Biographer’s Tale(2000). The results show that Byatt is well aware of the underlying patterns for self analysis in everyday language, and tries to match these inherent metaphors with arresting, self-conscious, artistic metaphors that are, nonetheless, connected logically in different ways with the former. Byatt is thus able to articulate in interesting new ways ideas on abstractions concerning selfhood, language, biography and creativity.

Abstract:
The convention for introducing biography in the Chinese textual tradition is to identify the subject not only by his name but also by his native place. The classic formula used for this purpose is set out in the preface to “The True Story of Ah Q,” in which Lu Xun remarks that “when writing biography, it is the usual practice to begin ‘so-and-so, from such-and-such place’ ” (Lu 1959 [1921]: 93). This formula was adopted in official documents, popular stories, obituaries and tomb epitaphs as well as in formal biographies or biographical notices. There were variations in its form, in which the person was identified as being “native of this place, living in that place” or “originally of this place, now of that place.” But in any event, a man was, and still is, normally identified by both his personal name and the name of his place of origin, just as a woman was usually identified by the names of her father and her husband. The problem for Lu Xun as fictional biographer was that Ah Q's name was a matter of debate and his place of origin unknown: He floated unmoored through Chinese society.

Abstract:
This article approaches a new biography of Frederick Bligh Bond by placing the subject’s life and career in the wider context of the formation of modern alternative religion. While acknowledging the rich particularities of Bond’s interests, attention is paid to the broader cultural context in which Bond lived and worked. This includes the modern cult and mythos of Glastonbury in both elite and popular cultural aspects as well as a wider social institution of seekership which shapes individual biographies. The article argues that through his seekership Bond was paradoxically more of a ‘type’ than his biographer allows and that his contributions to Glastonbury and to the New Age milieu should be interpreted in this light.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how biography influences professional and academic development. It aims to show how in different ways our experiences reflect the structures of society and that histories repeat themselves with different protagonists and different preys. It uses the author’s own biography to argue that in the author’s case, early influences of Irish migration shaped some of the decisions she made and her commitment to researching inequalities. The paper also asks how relevant are early life influences on the careers of equality and diversity academics? Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a biographical method that draws on a personal history of migration and relates these to historical moments to show the interconnection between the self and wider macro events. Findings The findings of the paper show the relevance and interconnection of biography with the macro and political context. The paper explores how an academic's personal biography[1] and the multi-layered relationship between the self and the wider macro historical context have influenced her research development. It does this by using her personal stories of being part of an Irish community and shows how everyday interactions may lead to a sense of being an outsider, of being other. History is used to show the multiple borders that Irish and other migrants experience, from biographic and diasporic borders, to violence and conflict and finally to work borders including the link with the author's research work. The paper argues that while the targets of discrimination may change over time, contemporary events can intensify the devaluation and othering of particular migrant groups. Originality/value Each biography has a unique element but the paper shows how individual biographies are connected and interrelated with the macro level of analysis.

Abstract:
Résumé L'importance de la biographie en histoire tient du fait que, sans elle, il serait difficile d'établir des liens entre l'homme et l'événement; selon l'auteur, c'est là ce qui, en quelque sorte, définit notre discipline. Cependant, depuis les dernières années, à cause du progrès de certaines sciences sociales telles la psychologie et la sociologie, la distinction entre histoire et biographie s'est accrue grandement et la biographie en tant que genre s'est considérablement modifiée. Ainsi, si l'on jette un coup d'oeil sur les années qui se sont écoulées depuis la deuxième guerre mondiale, l'on constate qu'au Canada français la biographie est passée d'un écrit à tendance hagiographique à une recherche fouillée et critique, puis, à une étude qui tente de plus en plus de camper un personnage dans son époque et son contexte social; de même, du côté du Canada anglais, on est passé d'une première étape où un héros ne pouvait avoir tort à une seconde où il vivait dans son époque mais sans perdre de sa stature pour finalement accéder à une troisième où sa personnalité et sa carrière étaient intégrées dans le temps. Toutefois, à peine le biographe historien avait-il relevé le défi de l'intégration de son personnage dans une époque donnée qu'il était aux prises avec un nouveau défi, soit celui de la nouvelle tendance en littérature qui s'intéresse maintenant à une psycho-biographie toute concentrée sur la vie intérieure du sujet. Est-ce donc à dire que la biographie historique telle qu'on la connaît n'a plus sa place et qu'il lui faille trouver de nouvelles avenues ? Brown, pour sa part, estime que la biographie est un genre « en soi » qui a besoin de toutes les lumières que peuvent apporter tant la psychologie que la sociologie et l'histoire sociale; de plus, il considère que le biographe se doit de rapporter minutieusement et de façon la plus littéraire qui soit toutes les informations qu'il a pu glaner sur la vie tant privée que publique de son personnage. Sans la biographie, considère-t-il, il ne peut y avoir de « dialectique constante entre l'individu et la société« et cette dialectique est un élément essentiel dans toute recherche historique.

Abstract:
I have been asked to speak about the life of the Empress-Queen Maria Theresa. I would like to start by directing your attention to the cover pictures of three recent biographies (Figures 1‒3). If you look at these pictures you will find one astonishing commonality. I am sure that this is neither a coincidence, nor just a fad: on each of the three covers, you only see a part of the portrait. For me, this perfectly symbolizes a specific, skeptical view of biography writing. As a biographer, these cover pictures say, you never get the whole picture of a person. It's always up to the author not only to choose the material but also to establish a certain narrative structure. A life is not a story, and a biography does not simply tell itself. There is always more than one true life story of a person. As the Swiss historian Valentin Groebner recently put it: “The past is a big untidy cellar. It is a bit damp and dark and smells a bit strange there. We go down and get what we want.” What you choose and how you arrange it—which story you tell—depends on which perspective you take and in what you are interested.

Abstract:
The article aims at exploring and analyzing the sketch-writing in Anees, a biography written by Nayyar Masood. The sketches usually appeared in a biography is little different from a sketch developed as a genre in Urdu literature. The reason to see such sketches is to know how importance given by the biographer to those influencing the life and time of the hero of the biography. A successful biography is what in which the time and life of the hero appeared vividly as it leads readers to understand the era, literary culture of the time, political atmosphere and various linguistic trends. It happens when a biographer focuses the hero and his or her contemporaries. The way contemporaries are focused in a biography it forms a genre in literature. The article gives instances from Anees to suppert his view and paving the way for a new genre in literature. This article also discusses some of the factors relevant to form a genre.

Abstract:
This article connects existing mobility biographies research with social practice inquiries into the dynamics of consumption and examines the potential of a biographic, practice-centred approach for researching everyday practices. Following a critical review of the benefits and limitations of existing research on mobility biographies, the article explores some key ways in which a practice theory approach can be employed to reframe and extend how dynamics of mobility over the life course can be conceptualised and analysed. A key feature of the discussion is a consideration of the ways in which the concepts of practice and career can broaden investigations of practice biographies to include various perspectives and scales. The article then outlines the development and application of a biographic, practice-centred methodology which was employed in an ongoing mobility biographies study based in Ireland. In demonstrating the potential of this approach for researching practice careers across the life course, empirical data relating to an individual’s career-in-car-driving are presented and discussed. The article concludes that, despite some limitations, practice-centred biographic approaches offer potential for addressing some unanswered questions regarding mobility practices.

Abstract:
This article examines Hélène Cixous’s biographical monograph The Exile of James Joyce as a limit case of biographical praxis. Joyce’s biography is read in the context of Cixous’s own evolving personal motif of exile, revealing her autobiographical investment in becoming a writer through reading Joyce. She pushes the boundaries of the biographical genre at the intersections of autobiography, literary criticism, and biography, defying simple generic classifications and exposing the limits of conventional demarcations between the artist, the work, the biographer, and the critic. As a result, the text becomes a creative-interpretive hybrid project, where the biographical code has been displaced by focus on epistemological, psychological, and textual problems implicit in the rela­tionship between the biographer and the biographical subject. Her approach invites us to consider the following questions: How does she rewrite Joyce through her own multiple experiences of exile that she also shares with Jacques Derrida? What difference does gender make in the construction of the biographical subject as the great modernist “genius”? How does gender marginalization impact her authority as a biographer? The discussion is also framed through some larger questions concerning the aesthetic, epistemological, ethical, and political role of biography in approaching modernist literature and culture: Is biography an art or a craft? What kind of knowledge does biography generate? How far is biography a form of discursive violence and voyeurism? How can attention to affect and intimacy offer new insights into the aesthetics of the biographical genre?

Abstract:
From the start, biography played a vibrant and significant part in the growth of women's history, especially American women's history, as a well-respected and popular field within the historical profession. The insistence of feminist biographers that the personal is political, and that attention must be paid to the daily lives of their subjects as well as to their more public achievements, continues to ripple through the field of biography as a whole. To talk about biography is also to talk about the biographer, for the precise reason that behind every biography lies autobiography—that special spark that draws the biographer to the subject in the first place and the interaction that unfolds as the project moves forward (or stalls, as often happens). As feminist theory reminds us, the personal element is relevant to the broader intellectual agenda.

Abstract:
Robert Bearman’s book Shakespeare’s Money (2016) can be considered the first economic biography of William Shakespeare; but it is also the latest specimen of an innovative trend in Shakespeare biography which has come to the fore over the last ten years or so. While the vein of cradle-to-grave biographies seems to be exhausted, new attention is being devoted to parts of Shakespeare’s life, with an attitude that has been seen as ‘microhistorical’ or ‘disintegrationist’. The article will discuss this new kind of sensitivity to biography in general and Shakespeare biography in particular. It starts out by addressing certain developments in the theory and practice of life writing during the second half of the twentieth century, which are today becoming ever more substantial; it then examines the progress of Shakespeare biographies and, in particular, how the issue of money has been tackled since Nicolas Rowe first dealt with it.

V. Makhlin's article deals with the recently published book The Life of Leo Tolstoy: An Experiment in Interpretation [Zhizn Lva Tolstogo: Opyt prochteniya] (Moscow: NLO, 2020) by philologist A. Zorin. Noting that in his attempt to reconstruct the context of L. Tolstoy's life, Zorin does not pursue sensational discoveries, be it facts or rumours, Makhlin argues that the author's main goal was to bridge the gap between three different aspects of Tolstoy's image: that of a man in daily life, an artist engaged in creative work, and a religious proselytiser with his beliefs. According to Makhlin, Zorin managed the task brilliantly by employing a unique method, namely an ‘integrated approach' to writing a Tolstoy biography. The biographer tries to portray Tolstoy's life using the writer's own words, leaving to himself the task to comment on, rather than interpret, the events he describes. It is this precision as well as avoidance of personal judgements that, in Makhlin's opinion, make Zorin's book so precious and make it stand out among other Tolstoy biographies.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the role of the ideologist of cultural movement in the reformist populism of the 1880s – 1890s, enlightener and writer Ya. V. Abramov in the context of creation of the book series “Life of remarkable people. Biographical library of F. Pavlenkovˮ. Its educational concept and democratic character are largely determined by Abramov’s social and worldview intentions — ideological inspirer of so-called “going to the people”, “going to great cultural work”, who saw the goals of such work in releasing “constrained forces and abilities of the Russian folk spirit”, supporting the “mental activity of the Russian people”, in promoting its “generation of new forms of life”. The author suggests a hypothesis, according to which the ideological genesis of the series is contained in Abramov’s short story “The Philistine Thinker” (1881), where the idea on the educational significance of the biographies of prominent people, “benefactors of mankind” was first expressed. The paper traces affinity between updating the genre of popular scientific biographies of “great people” and the educational tasks of Abramov and Pavlenkov and highlights the role of “instructive biographies” of Abramov in creating the genre type of documentary and fiction books that synthesize the qualities of “contextual biography” and “biography of the hermeneutic model”. The classic exemplarity of Abramov’s books is determined by the genre-conditioning and structure-forming function of the concept of personality; a synthesis of artistry and journalism, documentary and imagery; principles of artistic typing when working with documentary material; actualization of genre dominants (biography-life description, biography-research, biography-portrait, etc.); the poetics of narrative, objectivizing the aesthetic nature of author's subjectivity.

Abstract:
In the early 1970s, when I was a graduate student, biography was considered “an unloved stepchild” of the historical discipline. The naive empiricism of its soup-to-nuts narratives seemed deaf to any theory that might call the biographer's craft into question. In 2009, the American Historical Review honored the genre of biography with a roundtable on its creative renewal. Oddly (and regrettably) there was no mention of the work of Jerrold Seigel in any of the roundtable essays, though he had published three innovative biographical works over the previous thirty years. Characterizing Seigel as a biographer by trade would, to be sure, seriously diminish the scope of his scholarship. But two of his seven books have been full biographies, and in two others a biographical approach has been central to his modus operandi. A leading figure in refashioning the genre, he has been quite conscious of the implications of that commitment. In 1987 he ended an article on Durkheim with a challenge: “our knowledge of the human world must be able to survive the recognition of its personal sources.” Three years later he concluded an article on “the personal roots of Foucault's thinking” with another provocation to recent preoccupations in the discipline: “the proclaimed death of the subject is not some newly discovered set of relations that produce the illusion of human will and intentions as residues of their silent operation, but the action of a subjectivity that will not speak its name.”

Abstract:
Children’s picture book biographies on composers and musicians can prompt powerful music learning experiences. Biography breaks are the reading aloud of a picture book biography and the questions or activities the teacher engages students in while and after reading the book. In the music classroom, biography breaks can be used with children of all ages to introduce students to composers, musicians, music elements and concepts, music vocabulary, music genres and styles. Biography breaks provide a groundwork for discussing the historical, social, and cultural context of music, as well as a catalyst for engaging students in meaningful music experiences creating, performing, responding to, and connecting with music.

Abstract:
On connaît le sort que l’histoire a réservé à la critique biographique : condamnée sans appel depuis Proust, elle reposerait sur l’illusion que l’oeuvre « appartient » à son auteur, que l’homme est l’oeuvre. Or, s’il y avait en effet une grande part d’aveuglement dans le travail de Sainte-Beuve, les modernes que nous sommes se sont néanmoins rendu compte, au cours des vingt ou trente dernières années, que l’on était sans doute allé un peu vite en liquidant l’auteur et en installant à sa place une pure « instance scripturaire » tout aussi mythique que l’écrivain lui-même. Tenant pour acquis, avec Alain Brunn, qu’« [é]crire la vie d’un auteur constitue une façon de prendre une décision sur l’oeuvre, de choisir d’enraciner en elle la signification de son texte » (L’auteur, 2001), l’analyste aborde dans cet article deux ouvrages de Michel Schneider, Maman (1999), sur Proust, et Baudelaire, les années profondes (1994), qui constituent ce qu’il appelle des « biographies critiques ». Il cherche, d’une part, à voir comment, dans ces deux livres à teneur biographique, le biographe est conduit à rendre raison des oeuvres de son biographié, et, d’autre part, à comprendre dans quelle mesure le discours critique, en contexte biographique, est forcé de tenir compte de ce « réprouvé » de la modernité littéraire qu’est l’auteur.
