This title explores the distinctly social logic of awakening narratives - autobiographical stories people tell about having once been contained in a world of darkness and ignorance and subsequently awakening to an enlightened understanding of their experiences and situations. It analyses a wide variety of stories spanning roughly ten thousand years of history and pertaining to various philosophical, religious, political, scientific, psychological, and sexual subject matters.
