The recent availability of social technologies heightens our awareness of the increasingly mediatized, constructed, and public (if not exhibitionist) ways we experience ourselves and each other. This course on life narratives explores the fictions of selfhood through different genres–essay, memoir, historical novel, documentary, interview, etc.–which shed light on the relationships between public and private, biographical and autobiographical, life experiences and their representation, humans and time.
