Compelling Confessions: The Politics of Personal Disclosure is a
collection of essays whose shared purpose is to offer an accessible
interdisciplinary exploration of the social dynamics behind
confessional discourse. As various contributors to this collection
demonstrate, confession is ubiquitous in contemporary culture, not
only within psychological or therapeutic frameworks or literary
analysis, but also in internet discussion groups, in the criminal
justice system, in political rhetoric, in so-called "reality" and
interview-style television programming, in writing pedagogy and,
increasingly, in the testimonial strain observable in contemporary
scholarship. Yet, "telling one's story" raises questions, not only
about authorial intent or authenticity, but also about the
pressures disclosure can impose upon its audiences. Far less
ubiquitous than confessions themselves, as these contributors
suggest, are the critical tools that general audiences might employ
in order to better evaluate the rhetoric of personal disclosure. It
is, in fact, the shortage of such tools - responses and procedures
that could be stated plainly and implemented by any reader or
viewer - that Compelling Confessions sets out to address.
