The Reflexive Self
Angebote / Angebote:
The Reflexive Self is a critical discussion of
contemporary self-identity as a reflexive project,
which Anthony Giddens claims has emerged as a result
of recent and radical social upheavals in late
modernity. It initially traces the development of
an account of social change and self-identity in
Giddens's writing. The author then offers a
critical analysis of Giddens's key claims. Drawing
on a wide range of critical social and psychological
theory, the idea of a reflexively formed self-
identity is problematised by various issues: the
culturally situated nature of modern identity,
aspects of self-experience which may compromise a
reflexive understanding of the self, and the
importance of social relations of power in a
theorisation of self-identity. These discussions
are clarified by reference to various illustrative
psychosocial topics such as social class, intimacy,
fate, trust. and power. The author claims that
Giddens's notion of reflexivity needs to be
extensively revised in order to more accurately
represent contemporary forms of self-identity.
