N2  - "How does social change influence selfhood? What are the fundamental positions in social theories of the self? ; This accessible and assured book offers readers a new take on the central question of the relation between the individual and society. It offers a thorough, informed and critical guide to the field. It demonstrates how global economic and employment structures, neo-liberal discourse, the role of emotion, irrationality, and ambiguity are factors that impact upon the shape and resilience of the self. ; Anyone interested in the question of identity and its relation to cultural, social, economic and political contexts will find this book a God-send. It will appeal to students and lecturers in Cultural Studies, Sociology, Social Psychology, and Communications."--Publisher description
