of the text.

Lecture
- Instagram lecture // summary of the readings
- Anna is experimenting with life writing genres.
- You have certain assumptions about what a lecture looks like, it generally doesn’t look like an
instagram account.

lecture.
Autobiographical subjects
- Memory
- Experience
- Identity
- Space
- Embodiment
- Agency
Discussion
- Fiction is not life writing and not all non- ction is life writing, while all life writing is non-
ction.
- Poetry is hard to consider life writing if there’s no evidence that the speaker is the author, this
is easy for confessional poetry, as it is known that they are the speaker in the poem.
