{"product_id":"unfettering-confession","title":"Unfettering Confession","description":"\u003cp\u003eConfessional literature stretches beyond autobiography and overlaps every literary genre. It is eminently dramatic and always performative, it is a hopeful crying out in response to crisis, and a plea for reconciliation with community. It is an individual's private admission of guilt or a community's open plea for mercy, an auricular-ocular confession, and a pervasive human activity that is both \u003ci\u003eheard\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eseen.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis study introduces two major theoretical perspectives that have been consistently overlooked: the performance nature of confession, and the incorrect classification of confession as \u003ci\u003eonly\u003c\/i\u003e a subset of autobiography. As this book demonstrates, confession is not always autobiographical but is always performative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233959203160,"sku":"9780761845102","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761845102.jpg?v=1769684420","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/unfettering-confession","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
