Özet:
The dissertation is divided into two sections: an essay titled "The Self-ish Genre: Questions of Authorial Selfhood and Ethics in Creative Nonfiction" and an essay collection titled, Person, Place, and Thing..
"The Self-ish Genre: Questions of Authorial Selfhood and Ethics in Creative Nonfiction" engages with late modern and postmodern theories of selfhood in the service of moving towards an understanding of the ethical nature of the authorial character in the personal essay. I will position the authorial character within the framework of Paul Ricouer's construction of the narrative self, identifying it as an artifact of the work of giving an account of oneself. I will consider how this artifact can be imagined to function inside a Levinasian ethics, and ask whether or not the authorial character can adequately serve as an "Other" with whom both the reader interacts in their own formations of self. Finally, I will turn to Judith Butler to suggest a way the ethical act of giving an account of oneself can be rescued from the postmodern disposition of the self.
Person, Place, and Thing is composed of short essays that play with various constructions of the authorial self. Traditional narrative pieces which suggest a coherent and self-knowing author exist alongside collage essays in which any coherence or meaning-making is left to the reader.
