Anthony Elliott has written a newpreface to this third edition to address some of the most recentdevelopments in the field, and offers a powerful challenge to whathe describes as `the emergence of anti-theories of theself`. The first two editions have proven exceptionally popular amongstudents and teachers worldwide. Anthony Elliott provides ascintillating introduction to the major accounts of the self fromsymbolic interactionism and psychoanalysis to post-feminism andpostmodernism. This new edition has been extensively revised andupdated to take account of more recent theoretical developments,and a new chapter has been added on individualization which focuseson how the self becomes an agent of `do-it-yourself`autobiographical reconstruction in an age of intensiveglobalization. Concepts of the Self remains the most lively, lucid andcompelling introduction to contemporary controversies over the selfand self-identity in the social sciences and humanities. Written byan author of international reputation, it connects debates aboutthe self directly to identity politics, the sociology of personalrelationships and intimacy, and the politics of sexuality, and willcontinue to be an invaluable introductory text for students in ofsocial and political theory, sociology, social psychology, culturalstudies, and gender studies.
