The narrated self

Jürgen Straub, German

Product details

The self emerges in a sociocultural practice in which storytelling is essential. We are all constantly retelling ourselves. Over time, the view of the life we have lived and the life we still expect to
live changes. What always remains the same is the profoundly human fact that we depend on recognition. In storytelling, we transform bodily experiences into communicable experiences, allowing others to share in our existence. In the process, we gain insights into our lives, but also become entangled in self-deceptions. Self-narratives form the soil on which not only the individual's sense of self but also his or her relationships can flourish. Jürgen Straub discusses core questions of a theory of personal narrative identity and sends the reader on a journey from Montaigne to Ricoeur, from Nietzsche to the present of the 2nd century.
