Research background
'In Autobiographics, Gilmore writes that ‘insofar as autobiography represents the real, it does so through metonymy, that is, through the claims of contiguity wherein the person who writes is the same as the self in the writing; one extends the other, puts her in another place’ (1994: 67). This contiguous notion of autobiography and truthtelling continues to frame discussions of lifewriting, and is disrupted by experimental and fragmented autobiographies such as Cardinal’s The Words to Say It (1983) and Brossard’s Intimate Journal (2004).'
