Reading Mediated Life Narratives : Auto/Biographical Agency in the Book, Museum, Social Media, and Archives

An examination of the range of sites at which vulnerability and intervention can occur, Carlson does not condemn but stages an intercession, showing us how it is increasingly necessary to register mediated agents and processes modifying the witnessing or recuperation of original texts that could condition our reception.
