Anotace knihy

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.
