AB - This study aims to explore the socio-cultural significance of autobiographical writings, based on dancers’ experiences and memories, by analyzing the autobiographies of two ballerinas, Gelsey Kirkland and Suzanne Farrell. From the contemporary perspective of autobiography, this study explains the formation of a metaphoric autobiographical self, the meaning of writing strategy, and the diverse socio-cultural issues raised by the authors, rather than regarding autobiography as merely a historical source or the art of literature. In conclusion, Kirkland adopts the confessional mode of writing as a vehicle for therapeutic work, and Farrell uses the retrospective mode of writing that fully reflects her authority and glorious time in the ballet world.
