Life Writing and Literary Métissage as an Ethos for Our Times

By Erika Hasebe-Ludt, Carl Leggo, Cynthia M. Chambers, et al.

Book Overview

This book introduces literary m tissage as a way to research, teach, and live ethically with all our relations in our precarious times. The authors theorize and perform literary m tissage through the praxis of life writing, braiding their autobiographical texts, in various (mixed) genres, into seven themes. Life Writing and Literary M tissage as an Ethos for Our Times explores this writing praxis, with its more inclusive and generative notions of knowledge and knowledge practices, as a tool for creating more just societies and schools.
