	RE-CREATING CREATORS: TEACHING STUDENTS TO EDIT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Furthermore, autobiographical materials are intellectually and psychologically accessible to students who lack specialized knowledge or experience with research in primary materials, as do many freshmen who might initially find editing totally new and foreign.
		Above all, the autobiographical materials must interest the potential editor, whose job it will be to transmute the lifeless pieces of paper into a dynamic entity whose appeal is as evident to the outside readers as it is to the editor.
		So students might appropriately look for autobiographical writings about people whose lives reflect their own interests or aspirations: students athletes could search for sportsmen and women, the politically-minded could look for governmental figures, descendants could seek their ancestors.

		In these studies, women typically focused their autobiographical narratives on affiliative themes, whereas a majority of the men's autobiographical memories focused on experiences related to mastery and performance.

	Excerpt, Rugg, Picturing Ourselves
		I was first inspired to study parallels between photographic and autobiographical self-imaging while studying the work of Mark Twain, whose staging of over 500 individual photographic self-images propelled him into the visual and cultural awareness of people throughout the world, allowing him to overcome through photography the limitations imposed on texts by difficulties of translation.
		The autobiographer, in writing of his or her own life, also stands apart from the self, tries to envision and read the self from a vantage distanced by the passage of time.
		The photographic situation, then, offers the autobiographer a representational image for the autobiographical act of looking at oneself, as well as a metaphor for the intrusive act of reading and interpreting that takes place after the publication of the autobiography.

	Rhetorical Identification In Paul's Autobiographical Narrative
		Until very recently, most studies of Galatians have followed the suggestion of Martin Luther that Paul's autobiographical remarks in Galatians 1 and 2 were 'boasting and glorying' that followed out of his divine calling.
		Further, Galatians is closer in form and purpose to the letters of Seneca and Pliny than to the autobiographical narratives cited by Lyons and the advice of Quintilian cited by Betz.
		A Burkean approach to the study of Paul's autobiographical narrative seeks to discover both the ways in which Paul sought to identify with the Galatians and the ways in which he asked them directly and indirectly, to identify with him and his message.

		Again, Joyce seems to encourage autobiographical inquiries by his confession to Budgen that Stephen Dedalus as he appears in A Portrait of the Artist (a significant the before artist) is a self-portrait (James Joyce 60).
		All we can say in general terms is that in his own books [Joyce] reworked situations and themes he found in his own experience, either actually or potentially--which is so obvious a truism that it is hardly of much profit.
		If we believe Stephen to be an autobiographical character, then what he argues regarding the biographic bearing in Shakespeare's plays should be crucial, for we can interpret the argument as a reflexive statement pertaining to James Joyce, the original model for the self-portrait.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eusebius of Caesarea
		According to this view it is natural to regard the introduction, "As we have received" etc., as autobiographical, and to infer that Eusebius had exercised the office of priesthood in the city of Cæsarea before he became its bishop, and had received his earliest religious instruction and the sacrament of Baptism there also.
		But other interpretations of this document are given, one of which destroys, while the other diminishes, its biographical value: (a) According to some the creed proferred by Eusebius was drawn up as a formula to be subscribed by all the bishops.
		According to this interpretation the preliminary statement still remains autobiographical; but it merely informs us that the writer exercised the office of priest before he became a bishop.
