Aufsätze /Articles. Wer schreibt eigentlich eine Biografie? Und warum?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Biographies do not simply depict a person’s life chronologically. Rather, they emerge as a construction of various actors: the person being biographed, the biographer, companions, the anticipated readers and the estate itself jointly negotiate what will be read in a biography. Biographies are only recognized as biographies if they meet certain genre expectations and adhere to the “biographical pact”.
