Miriam Akavia, autobiography, auto(thanato)graphy, Polish Jews, Holocaust, survivors, Jacques Derrida, Aleksandra UbertowskaAbstract
The article is an attempt at a creative reading (one that employs figures and other works by the discussed writer) of Miriam Akavia’s autobiography entitled My Own Vineyard.... Indicated in the title of the article, the most significant theoretical reference here is Aleksandra Ubertowska’s Holokaust. Auto (tanato) grafie. This article uses the Derridean notion of quasi-genre modified by Ubertowska to interpret an important identity-related work by Akavia, a writer whose formative experience was the Holocaust.
