The deadline for my 2,000 word essay on biographic disruption approaches rapidly. After three pm GMT tomorrow, I will update you on the excitement of my trip to Italy. Until then, I leave you with a favorite quote from one of the essays I read in preparation:
"Confronted with a pluralisation of lifestyle options and choices about everything from the food we eat to the clothes we wear, the occupations we pursue to the sexual identities we adopt, the management of our bodies and emotional selves becomes a continual process of biographical revisions and reversals, successes and failures."
-Simon J. Williams, "Chronic illness as biographical disruption or biographical disruption as chronic illness?: Reflections on a Core Concept"
