{"product_id":"autobiography-janet-varner-gunn-9780812278347","title":"Autobiography: Toward a Poetics of Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eAutobiography, Gunn argues, must be reunderstood as a cultural act of \"reading\" the self, not as a private act of \"writing\" the self. Moreover, the self that is read (both by the autobiographer and the reader of autobiography) is the displayed self, not the hidden self--the self that appears in the world and can be experienced, and thereby realized, by others. Drawing on narrative theory, phenomenology, and hermeneutics, Gunn locates the literary features of autobiography in the larger anthropological context of what she calls \"the autobiographical situation.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn elegantly constructed interdisciplinary analysis, this book renders the hybrid genre of autobiography freshly problematic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Varner Gunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812278348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812278347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Janet Varner Gunn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059809874175,"sku":"9780812278347","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5162271b-3777-45e2-884c-69d7d260caaa.jpg?v=1685060470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autobiography-janet-varner-gunn-9780812278347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
