    Abstract

    Within the field of Life Writing, it has been suggested that hybrid, fragmented and/or non-linear texts may act as protective structures for troubled stories to enter the world. This research project explores this claim through textual analysis and creative practice. Autobiographical Acts of a Trauma-affected Woman: Shero and an exegesis argues that hybrid autobiographical acts support women to safely create stories of gendered violence and act as a metaphor for the embodied nature of trauma, dissociation, and traumatic memory.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
