Excerpt | The Volume 5 of LLIDS broadly explores the area of Life Narratives through its four Issues—5.1: Life Narratives: Prismatic World of the Author and Beyond, 5.2: Legacies of Trauma: The Tragedy of Before and After, 5.3: Poetics of Travelling Self: Discursive Formations and Purposiveness of Travel, and the present Issue, 5.4: Telling Life Stories: Ethos, Positionality, and Structures of Narrative. In understanding ethos and positionality as intricately interconnected with Life Narratives, the thematics of this Issue concentrates on the aspect of narrative construction from the position of the subject who is/becomes a site for expression, contestation, and constitution of perspectives. Fashioning of the subject through any kind of discourse thereby is perceived as an exercise in understanding ethos and positionality, that is, from where does one speak?
Key words | Life Narratives, Ethos, Positionality, Identity, Existential Authenticity, Subjectivity, Self-Critical/Reflexive, Authorial Posturing, Meaning-Making, Narrative Construction
