Theoretical Proposition on Understanding Autobiographical Narratives

Abstract

This article examines the influence of theoretical propositions on understanding autobiographical narratives, focusing on pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial narratives. It explores indigenous traditions, European colonization, identity issues, and cultural challenges in these literary works. Thus, understanding these periods helps understand the evolution of autobiography as a genre. This study aims to explore the importance of linguistic barriers and selection biases in autobiographical literature. As a result, by focusing on these barriers and biases, we can better understand the complete portrayal of literary genres. Autobiographical theories help us to understand how individual events impact a person's identity and personal narrative growth. This study enhances our understanding of autobiographical works by revealing their cultural significance and their impact on social thought and memory as a whole.
