Produktbeschreibung

The Playing Self addresses the impact of the information revolution, globalization, and 'permanent uncertainty' on identity formation and experience of everyday life. Bringing together in a unique combination subjective, cultural and structural dimensions of social change and social action, Melucci provides a brilliant and original phenomenological analysis of the self and its vicissitudes in 'post-industrial society.' Remarkably free of jargon and deeply serious, this text is a 'must' for anyone interested in the challenges to and new opportunities for individual freedom in an increasingly complex world.'-----Jean Cohen, Columbia University
