Companion video illustrating ideas from my current project, “The Making of a Self: Subjectivity, Memory, Representation, Autobiography, and Narrative Identity.”
The central question posed is: How can a human being know and represent a life when the person doing the knowing is part of the life being known?
Deceptively simple, such a question quickly takes us on a romp through theories of memory & autobiography, as well as a deep dive into photography, film & narrative – with forays into the fields of psychology and epistemology and ethics.
This is the first in a series of short videos in which I attempt to personalize and bring to life selected chapters from the book.
