Biography in Academia and the Critical Frontier in Life Writing Where Biography Shifts into Life Writing, 2014
Prepublication of the introductory article of an issue of _Cercles, revue pluridisciplinaire d'études anglophones_. The biographical turn, as we find convenient to call the renewed interest in biography and biographic approaches that has been taking place over the last decades, converging from several disciplines of the humanities, appears like a paradigmatic debate of sorts, that both calls for a new definition of biography in the larger sense of the term, and generates a theoretical demand.This article positions biographical studies within the perimeter of life-writing considered as an emerging crossroads discipline in the humanities. It analyses some of the causes of the so-called "resistance to theory" of biography. It argues that the very reappraisal of the central concept of the subject operated by the philosophy of deconstruction and analytic philosophy has entailed the emergence of life-writing, and created the intellectual need to theorize biography in this la...

In this article can be also entitled “Difficulties of Biography Writing: A Philosophical Approach” what biography and biography writing means will be dealt with from a partly existentialist and hermeneutic view point by taking questions such as; “what is biography?”, “why human beings want to understand the other?”, “what is the nature of biography: is it history or literature?” into consideration. In this respect; knowledge value, art value, ethical value, existential value and educational value of biography will be focused on.

In this lesson, students listen to a read aloud of a biography and compare its characteristics to other familiar genres. They discuss why its elements make it nonfiction, its similarities with fiction, and what sets it apart from other nonfiction books.
The connections between biography and the fields of microhistory, journalism, and life writing illuminate key challenges and problems in studying individual lives. Different perspectives are provided on the ways in which biography contributes to scholarship in the humanities in general and academic historiography in particular.
simplest accurate definition of biography should read: "the story of a human life." Since all biographies must say something of the times in which their subjects lived, the form is tied even more closely to history. There have been great variations in the amount of this "background material" in biography. At one extreme,
Understanding Biog-raphies discusses examples of successful as well as less successful biographies, and lays out the critical tools we can use to evaluate a biography.
the meaning or worth of human life? Heretofore this question has been dealt with chiefly by theorists, from Ikhnaton and Lao-tse to Bergson and Speng ler. The result has been a kind of intellectual suicide: thought, by its very development, seems to have destroyed the value and significance of life. [ 3 ]
What are we really asking when we ask about the meaning of life? Partly, it seems, we are asking about our relationship with the rest of the universe – who we are and how we came to be here. One aspect of this is a scientific question about our origins. To which the answer, only recently discovered, is 2 On e Lif f g o nin Mea e th
