Abstract

Taking into account recent developments in the field of neuroscience, autobiographical narrative can be approached as linked to the body’s general feeling of well being, so that autobiography may have a self-regulating, homeostatic function, preserving or reinstating emotional stability, and therefore body stability in the individual, in moments of crisis or fracture. This article shows how three recent autobiographical texts connect to this new approach to autobiography, writtenr by Vicente Verdú, Marcos Ordóñez, and Javier Pérez Andújar, from an experiential perspective and with the body as main stage of the emotions they describe and analyze.
