ABSTRACT

An autobiography is one's own life as written. Autobiographizing is writing one's own life. An autobiographical text is a particular written version, fragment, or account of one's own life. Autobiographical textuality is the feature of a text (autobiographical or otherwise) which characterizes the writing of a version, fragment, or account of one's own life. Since it has been argued that Ecce Homa is unsuccessful as autobiography and since the concern here is more with the autobiographical textuality of Nietzsche's Ecce Homo, I defer at the outset the determination as to whether the text is, in fact, an autobiography.
