purposes, we will read life writing from Western (and Japanese or Chinese?) authors, for

instance accounts of the lives of Christian saints, raising questions about the cultural

relativity of what makes up a life’s story. Literary Critical and other theoretical sources are

assigned weekly to support and deepen our discussions of the primary source materials.
