Designing a Theatre of Recollection for the Digital Age: Shifting Perspectives and the Autobiographical Eye

Elayne Zalis discusses how “At Home in Cyberspace: Staging Autobiographical Scenes,” the essay that she published in the 2003 Online Lives issue of Biography, influenced a novel that she later wrote, Arella’s Repertoire, in which the narrator stages autobiographical scenes of her own in cyberspace. Like the websites that Zalis examined in her essay, Arella’s Repertoire explores new ways to share personal and cultural memories in the digital age.
