Self as Narrative: Subjectivity and Community in Contemporary Fiction(Oxford English Monographs)

Series: Oxford English Monographs

Remembrance and self-reflection are narrative acts in which we create, rather than simply retrieve, our personal pasts and hence our conceptions of who we are. Self as Narrative considers the human capacity to evaluate, modify, and move between a plurality of communal and communicative contexts in the creation of meaningful narratives of selfhood.
