Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In a neo-liberal era concerned with discourses of responsible individualism and the 'selfie', there is an increased interest in personal lives and experiences. In contemporary life, the personal is understood to be political and these ideas cut across both the social sciences and humanities.This handbook is specifically concerned with auto/biography, which sits within the field of narrative, complementing biographical and life history research. Some of the contributors emphasise the place of narrative in the construction of auto/biography, whilst others disrupt the perceived boundaries between the individual and the social, the self and the other. The collection has nine sections: creativity and collaboration; families and relationships; epistolary lives; geography; madness; prison lives; professional lives; 'race'; and social justice and disability. They illustrate the inter- and multi-disciplinary nature of auto/biography as a field. Each section features an introduction froma section editor, many of whom are established researchers and/or members of the British Sociological Association (BSA) Auto/Biography study group. The handbook provides the reader with cutting-edge research from authors at different stages in their careers, and will appeal to those with an interest in auto/biography, auto-ethnography, epistolary traditions, lived experiences, narrative analysis, the arts, education, politics, philosophy, history, personal life, reflexivity, research in practice and the sociology of the everyday.Chapter 1: A Case for Auto/Biography; Julie Parsons and Anne Chappell.Section One: Creativity and Collaboration; edited by Gayle Letherby.Chapter 2:The Times are a Changing: Culture(s) of Medicine; Theresa Compton.Chapter 3: Seventeen Minutes and Thirty-One Seconds: An Auto/Biographical Account of Collaboratively Witnessing and Representing an Untold Life Story; Kitrina Douglas andDavid Carless.Chapter 4: Reflections on a Collaborative, Creative 'Working' Relationship; Deborah Davidson and Gayle Letherby.Section Two: Families andRelationships: Auto/Biography and Family, A Natural Affinity ; edited by David Morgan.Chapter 5: Life Story and Narrative Approaches in the Study of Family Lives; Julia Brannen.Chapter 6:The Research Methods for Discovering Housing Inequalities in Socio-Biographical Studies; Elizaveta Polukhina.Chapter 7:Auto/Biographical Research and The Family;Aidan Seery and Karin Bacon.Section Three:Epistolary Lives: Fragments, Sensibility, Assemblages in Auto/Biographical Research; edited by Maria Tamboukou.Chapter 8:Letter-Writing and the Actual Course of Things: Doing the Business, Helping the World Go Round; Liz Stanley.Chapter 9:The Unforeseeable Narrative: Epistolary Lives in Nineteenth Century Iceland; Erla Hulda Halldórsdóttir.Chapter 10: Auto/Pathographies In Situ: 'Dying of Melancholy' in Nineteenth CenturyGreece; Dimitra Vassiliadou.Section Four:Geography Matters: Spatiality and Auto/Biography; edited by John Barker and Emma Wainwright.Chapter 11: 'Trying to Keep Up': Intersections of Identity, Space, Time and Rhythm in Women Student Carer Auto/Biographical Accounts;Fin Cullen, John Barker and Pam Alldred.Chapter 12:Spatiality and Auto/Biographical Narratives of Encounter in Social Housing;Emma Wainwright, Elodie Marandet and Ellen McHugh.Chapter 13:'I Thought.
