Скачать или смотреть Must I Be a Novel A Literary History Lecture With Professor Daniel Shore

Since the early 1980s, philosophers have claimed that we are the narratives we tell about ourselves. As the cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner put it, “Self is a perpetually rewritten story.” Professor Daniel Shore argues that the philosophers are right to treat the self poetically, as something we make, but they are mistaken in limiting that selfhood to the realist prose narrative fiction of the novel. Join Professor Shore as he examines literary tradition before the rise of the modern novel and explores the alternative models of how to be a self.
