Mediating Memory Tracing the Limits of Memoir (PDF)
Synopsis
The argument has been made that memoir reflects and augments the narcissistictendencies of our neoliberal age. Mediating Memory: Tracing
the
Limits of Memoir challenges and dismantles that assumption. Focusing
on the history, theory, and practice of memoir writing, Editors Bunty
Avieson, Fiona Giles, and Sue Joseph provide a thorough and cutting-edge
examination of memoir through the lenses of ethics, practice, and
innovation. By investigating memoir across cultural boundaries, in its
various guises, and tracing its limits, the Editors convincingly demonstrate
the plurality of ways in which memoir is helping us make sense of
who we are, who we were, and the influences that shape us along the way.
