Description

The Autobiography Effect: Writing the Self in Post-Structuralist Theory by Dennis Schep explores the paradoxical relationship between autobiography and authorship. Despite post-structuralism's critique of modern notions of self, many authors have continued to write about themselves. This book examines how authors such as Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Hélène Cixous, and others have navigated the complexities of autobiography in their work. By combining close reading, intellectual history, and literary theory, Schep sheds light on the ways in which autobiography has become a central site for negotiating philosophical positions and anxieties. Through its analysis, The Autobiography Effect reveals how the self is understood as an effect of writing, raising fundamental questions about the nature of identity and authorship.
