| dc.description.abstract | <p>This paper interrogates how autobiographical texts narrating the trauma of a cancer diagnosis and its subsequent treatment might be read as sites of therapeutic and ethical intervention. When writing about the physical and psychic injury caused by a potentially life-threatening disease, an author often performs imaginative acts of reclaiming and retelling her or his <em><em>own </em></em>story, and in so doing challenges and resists culturally reductive and unethical readings of the ill body as medicalised, marginalised or stigmatised.</p> | |
