Book Discussion: A Philosophy of Autobiography - Kitab Khana Bookstore, Mumbai

Book Discussion: A Philosophy of Autobiography: Body & Text, by Aakash Singh Rathore - Kitab Khana Bookstore, Fort, Mumbai, India, 2 April 2019.

Dr Yudit Greenberg (Rollins College, Florida) led the evening’s event.


A Philosophy of Autobiography: Body & Text
(Routledge, 2019)

This book offers intimate readings of a diverse range of global autobiographical literature with an emphasis on the (re)presentation of the physical body. The twelve texts discussed include philosophical autobiography (Nietzsche), autobiographies of self-experimentation (Gandhi, Mishima, Warhol), literary autobiography (Hemingway, Das) as well as other genres, including the graphic novel (Spiegelman, Satrapi), as also documentations of tragedy and injustice and subsequent overcoming (Ambedkar, Pawar, Angelou, Wiesel).

The book delves into how the authors treated here deal with the flesh through their autobiographical writing and in what way they embody the essential relationship between flesh, spirit and word. It analyses some seminal texts, such as Ecce Homo, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Waiting for a Visa, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, A Moveable Feast, Night, Baluta, My Story, Sun and Steel, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, MAUS and Persepolis.
