Beschreibungen/Notizen
In preparation for reading Jenn Stephenson's Performing Autobiography, I decided to engage in high-risk, twenty-first-century ways of knowing by asking my much-maligned friend Siri: "What is autobiography?" Siri responded with a yellowing image of a cover of the first English edition of Benjamin Franklin's 1793 autobiography The Private Life of the Late Benjamin Franklin, LL.D. "originally written by Himself," followed by an entry from her equally libeled buddy Wikipedia (as of 30 September 2014): "An autobiography is a written account of the life of a person written by that person. Digital technology is partly responsible both for the proliferation of new forms of autobiography and for the blurring of fiction and nonfiction, as printbased, private journals and diaries yield to virtual versions featuring prose and pictures on a variety of open data platforms, such as Twitter, blog sites, YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, and, yes, Wikipedia.
