It will also focus on identity as one of the fundamental questions that current autobiographical texts reflect. The lecturer then illuminates the background of the concept of autofiction, which is widely used today, without there is a consensus on its definition, and presents its concept of autofiction as a hybrid way of writing, which changes in response to the development of autobiographical writing, as well as changing media and other socio -cultural changes. In conclusion, other topics are mentioned in the area of autobiography and autofiction, such as the relationship of narrative perspectives in autobiography to the problem of identity, the political dimension of autobiographical writing or autobiographical narration in various media.
