Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intricate relationship between forgetting and memory, this book delves into life writing and memory texts, identifying "scenes of forgetting" in personal narratives. It is divided into two parts: the first focuses on life writing, while the second analyzes fiction and autobiographies that address collective memory. By investigating the strategies writers use to articulate the forgotten, the author aims to illuminate the interplay between collective and personal memory, drawing insights from both memory studies and life writing theories.
