How does our ability, desire or failure to locate ourselves within
space, and with respect to certain places, effect the construction
and narration of our identities? Approaching recordings and
interpretations of selves, memories and experiences through the
lens of theories of space and place, this book brings the recent
spatial turn in the Humanities to bear upon the work of life
writing. It shows how concepts of subjectivity draw on spatial
ideas and metaphors, and how the grounding and uprooting of the
self is understood in terms of place. The different chapters
investigate ways in which selves are reimagined through relocation
and the traversing of spaces and texts. Many are concerned with the
politics of space: how racial, social and sexual topographies are
navigated in life writing. Some examine how focusing on space,
rather than time, impacts upon auto/biographical form. The book
blends sustained theoretical reflections with textual analyses and
also includes experimental contributions that explore
independencies between spaces and selves by combining criticism
with autobiography. Together, they testify that life writing can
hardly be thought of without its connection to space.
