Abstract

This paper examines biography in the context of the transnational and digital turns. Through analysis of biographical data about Trinidad-born musician and celebrity Winifred Atwell, it examines processes of forgetting and remembering at the levels of individual and cultural memory. It suggests that the impact of the digital is irrevocably altering the mechanisms by which transnational biographical identities are constructed.
