WRITING ONE'S LIFEAutobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity onwards. In our globalized age, where media and other cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, this cultural practice has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance.

By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits, autofiction as well as medial transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers an expansive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspec-tive. The handbook places special emphasis on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspec-tives of the genre.
