Some bloggers edit posts after the posts have gone public; some queue up posts for public view and write little or nothing "live." Queuing/"publishing" can be backdated, such that an unwary reader would never know whether they'd missed reading a given post the first time around or whether that post had been added after the fact. Thus, while agreeing with your final line about complicated temporalities, I'm interested in why the <em>Autobiography</em>'s temporality seems to you more complicated, rather than differently complicated due to the differences in available media.Sharon K.

For various reasons I roll one by hand, which means that I can force the datestamp to be whatever I want. (That isn't <em>why</em> I do it manually, but it's still a consequence.)<br /><br />The text runs pp. 61-467. There's a bit of 1906 spliced in before the Florentine dictations (1904), but 1906 proper begins on p. 250.Sharon K. Goetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919021425045032416noreply@blogger.com
