{"product_id":"9780761845102","title":"Unfettering Confession","description":"Confessional literature stretches beyond autobiography and overlaps every literary genre. It is eminently dramatic and always performative, it is a hopeful crying out in response to crisis, and a plea for reconciliation with community. It is an individual's private admission of guilt or a community's open plea for mercy, an auricular-ocular confession, and a pervasive human activity that is both heard and seen.   This study introduces two major theoretical perspectives that have been consistently overlooked: the performance nature of confession, and the incorrect classification of confession as only a subset of autobiography. As this book demonstrates, confession is not always autobiographical but is always performative.","brand":"Donald Gene Pace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45872014000446,"sku":"9780761845102","price":1720.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780761845102.jpg?v=1707320946","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780761845102","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
