Autofiction, Emotions, and Humour: A Playfully Serious Affective Mode

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (23596 ratings)

Description:Autofiction is often associated with humour, irony, and play. Moreover, authors of autofictional texts are frequently criticised for a lack of seriousness or for failing to straightforwardly and in their own voice engage with a given topic. Yet very few autofictional texts are exclusively, or even primarily, playful. Many employ humour and irony to address very serious subject matter. This volume explores how these seemingly opposed characteristics of autofictional texts in fact work together. The contributions in this volume show that autofictional texts often make use of humour and play in a productive and meaningful way, tackling issues such as human rights violations, historical and collective as well as personal trauma, and struggle with psychological or physical illness and abuse. On the basis of geographically wide-ranging case studies, including texts from South America, South Africa, the United States, and Europe, this book explores how, in which contexts, and to which effects autofictional texts reveal their authors' complex and often painful psychological experiences and engage the emotions of their readers.This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Life Writing.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
