Abstract

âA colored spiral in a small ball of glass, this is how IÂ see my own lifeâ, writes Vladimir Nabokov in his memoir, Speak, Memory. In our course âWhat is Memory?â we read and write with Nabokovâs life story using our own form of Gregory Ulmerâs âmystoryâ mode of writing as a way to discover the life cycles of memoriesÂ â ours and our students as well as those related by NabokovÂ â and to explore their tendencies to constellate around images, objects, and their metaphorical relationsÂ â the spiral, for instance. Following Ulmer, our mystory is modeled after Roland Barthesâ A Loverâs Discourse. Like A Loverâs Discourse, it is based on a âtutor textâ:Â A Loverâs Discourseâs tutor text is Goetheâs Sorrowsof Young Werther; ours is Nabokovâs Speak, Memory. Like A Loverâs Discourse, our Mystory consists of a collection of âfiguresâ, short open-ended compositions in which we write with and after Nabokov, weaving our responses to the autobiography with our own and each otherâs memories, including autobiographical and collective memories as well as memories of other texts. This âweavingâ process is supported by our use of Scalar a multi-modal web-authoring platform, as the environment for our collaborative work. Coupling the responsive mystory mode of studying a memoir to the collaborative Scalar writing environment facilitates studentsâ appreciation of the similarities between life writing and story writing, thereby also helping them to recognize the activity of remembering as itself a creative process.
