    Site Teaching Essays and Preparatory Readings:

      James Boswell. The Life Study of Alcoholism: Putting Drunkenness in Biographical Context By Stanton Peele. On the Stanton Peele Addiction Web Site. "This view — at once "ecological" and psychodynamic — is in fact the hallmark of good biography, for to dismiss overdrinking as some accidental trait in the actor's make-up would be to abrogate the biographer's job of deciphering a subject's life themes. The case of James Boswell is used here as a template for the life study of drunkenness." This piece will fit in nicely with our discussion of the use of biography as a means of transforming discourse. Does that theoretical perspective of Maria Pia Lara seem to fit with Stanton Peele's approach? Link added August 21, 2002.
