- Title
"REFUGEES FROM THIS NATIVE DREAMLAND": LIFE NARRATIVES OF OCCUPY WALL STREET.
- Authors
CHERNIAVSKY, EVA
- Abstract
This essay examines the identity of the Occupy Wall Street movement in relation to debates over corporate personhood in the United States. The author asserts that the movement itself is rhetorically depicted and engaged with as a single corporate subject rather than an organization. Topics addressed include narrative confusion between participants and the movement itself, the concept of self-fashioning in politics, and what biographical life writing genres would be used to describe the group.
