Life Stories: His World as I Found It

A series of lectures exploring the uses of biography
in the Conference Centre

Gabriel Josipovici is a novelist, playwright, essayist, literary critic and historian, who taught for many years at the University of Sussex.


A series of lectures exploring the uses of biography
in the Conference Centre

What is the connection between living a life and recounting it? It has been argued that human existence itself is woven out of the stories we tell ourselves about our lives - but are stories the best ways of understanding human lives? What happens when philosophical analyses of existence and identity meet up with biographical narratives?

This lecture series presents a cast of philosophers, theorists and biographers who will take the opportunity to reflect on how far we can understand our lives in terms of life-stories.
