Conversation with History A Writer’s Voice Identity Theory

Representations of Place geography of place geography of emotion geography of convention representations of the place  the geography of place representations of language  the geography of emotion representations of writing  the geography of conventions

Setting, Themes, Style, Narration Setting Mapping the geography of place  representations of place Themes Mapping the geography of emotion  representations of language Style Mapping the geography of conventions  representations of writing Narration triangulation: a geometrical technique that helps you to find out where you are

autobiographical acts memory (psychic) experience (temporal) identity (spatial) embodiment (the material) agency (transformative) (Sidonie Smith & Julia Watson, Reading Autobiography, 2001)

components of autobiographical acts occasions sites producers of stories, autobiographical “I”s  the real, historical I, the narrating I, the narrated I, the ideological I “the narrated I is the subject of history, whereas the narrating I is the agent of discourse (Francoise Lionnet: Autobiographical Voices, 194)

components of autobiographical acts / 2 the Others of autobiographical “I”s addressees structuring modes of self-inquiring patterns of emplotment media consumers/audiences

Susan Stanford Friedman “Rhetorically speaking, geographics involves a shift from the discourses of Romanticism to those of postmodernity, with a stop in between for the metaphorics of early-twentieth-century modernism, whose emphasis on split selves and fragmentation looks back to the discourse of organic wholeness anf rorward to the discourse of spatialized flux” (Mappings, 1998: 19)

Poland Representation of place ideal fantasy full of ghosts/fables/adventure stories Representation of self divided (Jewishess/Catholicism) confused (love) determined (music) the self emerges in a world of fantasy (“I am such stuff as dreams are made of”)

Canada Representation of place abstract not a place for the imagination Representation of self invisible contingent on location rejecting determined

The US Representation of place land of opportunities land of intellectuals Representation of self assimilated dependent on friends assured

Narrative of memory  war and the Holocaust of renunciation  Jewish assimilation of achievement  intertextuality: the autobiographies of Mary Antin and Henry Adams postmodern bildungsroman

auto-bio-theory structuralism poststructuralism (deconstruction) psychoanalysis Marxism feminism Style reflects the culture of the observant anthropologist with a degree in literature  writing exhibits self-awareness

Translations of place and identity occur both figuratively and literally the passage from being an exile to being assimilated goes through the process of triangulating transience “I’ve become caught between stories, between the kinds of stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. In one story, circumstance plays the role of fate, in the other, character.” (268) I AM HERE NOW.
