Regard for the Other: Autothanatography in Rousseau, De Quincey, Baudelaire, and Wilde by E. S. Burt
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 2.2MB
Overview: Although much has been written on autobiography, the same cannot be said of autothanatography, the writing of one’s death. This study starts from the deconstructive premise that autobiography is aporetic, not or not only a matter of a subject strategizing with language to produce an exemplary
identity but a matter also of its responding to an exorbitant call to write its death. The I-dominated representations of particular others and of the privileged other to whom a work is addressed, must therefore be set against an alterity plaguing the I from within or shadowing it from without. This alterity makes itself known in writing as the potential of the text to carry messages that remain secret to the confessing subject.
