Cíle předmětu
Western cultures have increasingly become autobiographical cultures. Never before have so many autobiographies been written and produced; never before has there been such a wide spectrum of genres and media – traditional, digital, and performative; never before have so many people been concerned with telling their individual past and its meaning for the present. And never before have practices of autobiography been so intimately connected with the idea of self-exploration and, in fact, of self-construction. This course explores the role of narrative in this process. It takes a closer look at the narrative shape of autobiographical memory and identity.
Výstupy z učení
Upon completing the course, students will: - have acquired basic knowledge of various approaches to the study of memory and remembering; - be familiar with questions related to memory, narrative, and identity; - have an awareness of the history of self-representation; - be able to reflect on their own autobiographical narratives.
