Document Summary
Develop the notion of autobiographical practice through examination of professional life, esp academic employment in the cv: autobiographical practices range of activities considerably wider than conventional understanding of auto/biography. Employed whenever a person is called upon to tell a story about themselves or present themselves. Tell a story in front of specific audiences at specific occasions as being adequate for the circumstances which called for the presentation rather than truthfulness. Tells a disinterest observer as much about the circumstances under which practices were deployed as about the ind being described by the practice. Any autobiographic practices exist in a particular historical context and production of cv"s is no exception. The cv linked to the process of appraisal and the appraisal interview. Interviews involve the scrutiny of cv w specific emphasis on past achievements and future aspirations. Elements of both confessional and psychoanalytical encounters which rely on self-revelation.
