The Texture of Everyday Life

The paper will explore some of the ways in which personal experience turns into life writing, the process in which a record of a life lived becomes a story, such as the textualization of the “texture” of life, or from body to book ; the emplotment of the incidences of life into a life narrative (Whi...
