Rosalia Baena's theoretically challenging, analytical volume of
essays, explores the diversity of shapes that transcultural life
writing takes, demonstrating how it has become one of the most
dynamic and productive literary forms of self-inscription and
self-representation.
Expanding much of the contemporary criticism on life writing,
which tends to centre on content, the essays highlight that reading
contemporary forms of life writing from a literary perspective is a
rich field of critical intervention that has been overlooked
because of recent cultural studies' concerns with material issues.
To read life writing as primarily cultural texts undercuts much of
its value as a complex dynamic of cultural production, where
aesthetic concerns and the choice and manipulation of form serve as
signifying aspects to experiences and subjectivities. This book was previously published as a special issue of Prose Studies.
