Full Description
This book illuminates the relationship between autobiography, fan fiction, and education via philosophical, pedagogical, and formative perspectives.
How might we consider autobiography and fan fiction writing to be educational? How can we harness the potential of fan fiction writing for pedagogical use? How does the practice of creating and consuming fan fiction/autobiographical texts support the formation of identity? This book brings together contributors from across the world to consider the answers to these questions, and more, with the resulting interpretations and perspectives offering something novel in the linking of these three concepts. Separated into three distinct sections, the chapters in this book look first at philosophical perspectives, moving on to pedagogical approaches, and, finally, the role of fan fiction and autobiography in the formation of individual and social identities. The eclectic mix of arguments, methods, and styles aims to provide insights to readers interested in life writing, popular culture and media studies, and those engaged in the multiple sub-disciplines of education studies.
