dc.description.abstractIn a brief paragraph of the Prison Notebooks (1929-1935) titled "Justification of Autobiography" (59), Antonio Gramsci considers that the political function of this literary genre could be to help others to develop towards certain ways of being or towards certain breakthroughs (1718). The narration of one's experiences might be certainly read as "an act of pride", dictated by the somehow overconfident feeling that one's life deserves a special memory, being original and unique. But - he adds - the driving force of autobiographical writing should be other than mere pride. If politically conceived, autobiography can, in fact, function as an alternative to a political or philosophical essay because - he concludes - it describes "in act" what, in an essay, appears as deduced logicallyca
