My Struggle – from Autobiography to Performative Biographism. The present article aims at showing that the work of the contemporary Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård, a series of six volumes entitled My Struggle, fulfills the criteria specific to various literary (sub)-genres. I will investigate the particularities that raise the most questions regarding the framing of such a work and analyze three categorizations of My Struggle, i.e. autobiography, autofiction and performative biographism. The analysis will be constructed especially in the context of Norwegian and Scandinavian literary space, but international perspectives will also be taken into consideration.
