Dr. Schmitt argues that current trends in the field of life writing have taken the focus away from the text and the initial purpose of autobiography as a means for the author to communicate with a reader and narrate an experience. The study puts autobiography back into a communicational context, and putting forth the notion that one of the reasons why life writing can so often be aesthetically unsatisfactory, or difficult to distinguish from novels, is because it should not be considered as a literary genre, but as a \u003ci\u003emodality\u003c\/i\u003e with radically different rules and means of evaluation. In other words, not only is autobiography \u003ci\u003eradically \u003c\/i\u003edifferent from fiction due to its referentiality, but, first and foremost, it should be read differently. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Arnaud Schmitt is a Senior Lecturer and Professor at the University of Bordeaux\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788956041504,"sku":"9780367667849","price":103.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3d4f99717f1a4b3d28158cf4cce8f1f3.webp?v=1780663952","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-phenomenology-of-autobiography-making-it-real-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
