- W1849251136 abstract "The following PhD thesis will explore the connection betweenautobiography and myth of origin: On the one hand, I am concerned withthe ways in which women autobiographers rewrite classical myths oforigin; on the other hand, I contend that autobiography itself is a myth oforigin, a recreation of the forces that created the narrator.Throughout this thesis, I will develop two main themes: the first is the useof myth as a framework for autobiographical writing. This is possiblebecause of myth's characteristic double focus on the universal and on theparticular version, the historical context. Myth allows feministautobiographers to connect themselves to universal truths from which theyare barred by patriarchal tradition and to carve out their own, highlypersonal version.The second theme is that the autobiographers depict the origin as the coreof the self and utterly Other. First, the narrator has to rely on the stories ofother people, or a 'family memory'. Second, the past can be seen asconnected to or leaving traces in the present; at the same time, it can becompletely Other and incompehensible. Third, the autobiographical I isoften cut off from her origins, and a constructive return that integrates thepast and the present self is only possible through a deliberate act ofmythmaking: It is mythmaking and storytelling that provides a connectionbetween self and Other.I hope to make a contribution to feminist theory of autobiography as well asto feminist theory. Reading autobiography as myth of origin approaches thepersistent problem of the relationship between the historical author and theautobiographical self. Moreover, I will explore the the specific relationbetween women and origins, and address the necessity for feminist theoryto develop a framework where self and Other are intimately connected." @default.
