Sanning eller ej, det är frågan... : En diskussion omkring hur autenticitet gestaltas i Tara Westovers självframställning Allt jag fått lära mig.

Sammanfattning: Discussions about whether self-portrayals should be under non-fiction or fiction is an issuethat has engaged many through the decades. They often end up in the non-fiction literature,precisely because it is not fictional, it’s fact. But is it really possible to say that what can beread in a self-presentation is authentic facts? It's not possible. The author himself can inprinciple not promise that what he has written is completely true, because work with memoryand emotions can affect a person's choice of what he chooses to write, both consciously andunconsciously. In this essay, I will therefore discuss how the tools memory, authority andproof can be applied to the self-presentation Educated by Tara Westover to see how it relatesto austenitic design.
