Abstract

SOUZA, Elizeu Clementino de. (Auto)biography, science and art: dialogues with Oliver Sacks. e-Curriculum [online]. 2023, vol.21, e59921.  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 1809-3876.  https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2023v21e59921.

Relational ideals between (auto)biography, science, and art intersect analyses of formative issues in Oliver Sacks' (2015) autobiography from two key arguments that organize the text's entries. The first briefly describes epistemological and theoretical-methodological aspects of (auto)biographical research, and the second focuses on the analysis of issues of formation, schooling, family relationships, and professional performance experienced by Sacks. The aim is to situate the human bricolage, through successive events experienced by the biographer, in a dialogue between memories, adventures, conflicts, personal and professional challenges, by revealing life-training paths marked by biographical discourses of the narrator's experience and temporal dimensions of his life-formation.

Keywords : (auto)biography; Olivier Sacks; formation; schooling.
