Is it possible to deceive ourselves and if so, how do we do so? One answer to the last question might be that: we do so through and in the course of self-narration. An example of such is the narration of events we have been involved in the past. In this chapter I investigate the relationship between self-deception and self-narration through Richard Linklater’s film Tape (2001). In doing so, my aim is to see how and in what ways the film casts light on questions in the scholarly literature, and vice versa. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[Keyword Not Available]Book Chapter2-s2.0-8521319036310.1007/978-3-031-58433-6_6100N/A83
