In the 2010s, the term “autotheory” - the commingling of theory and philosophy with autobiography - began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Maggie Nelson, Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.
