AUTHOR

Chamberlain, Mary, Thompson, Paul

SUMMARY

Any life story, whether a written autobiography or an oral testimony, is shaped not only by the reworkings of experience through memory and re-evaluation, but also by art. Any communication has to use shared conventions not only of language itself, but also the more complex expectations of "genre," the forms expected within a given context and type of communication. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities, this collection of essays examines precisely how far the expectations and forms of genre shape different kinds of autobiography and influence what messages they can convey.Chamberlain, Mary is the author of 'Narrative & Genre Contexts and Types of Communication', published 2004 under ISBN 9780765808172 and ISBN 076580817X.
