Chronic denial: When making change means saying the whole truth
Tóm tắt
Through a personal exploration of disability as experience, this essay explores the navigation of confession and its ramifications and relevance for scholarly work. Attending to confession in an early modern Spanish context (with focus on Miguel de Cervantes and Teresa de Ávila) as well as the contemporary moment, the essay creates a critical space for exploring how confession connects to narrative building.
