Abstract:
The study of autobiography in the last forty years is characterised by an effort towards its literarization and simultaneously its homogenization as a distinct textual category. The two interpretative strategies that dominate this period are subjectivism and historicism, whose emphasis is on the individual, on textual relations and functions, or, alternately, on general psychological, cultural or ideological categories. By contrast to this modem canon in autobiographical studies, autobiography is here reconceptualized as a symbolic practice which is realized and received in the context of the distinctive habitus and the particular relations of power and antagonism pertaining to the specific social field inside which the autobiographer seeks symbolic recognition. The different languages, forms and strategies of self-representation used by autobiographers constitute therefore neither an object of individual choice or expression, not part of a general cultural repertoire, but rather part of the particular symbolic repertoire that is made available for the construction of identity and the validation of or demand for symbolic recognition within each specific social field.
