The Playing Self is a groundbreaking new work from influential
cultural sociologist and clinical psychologist Alberto Melucci,
best known for his work on social movements and collective
identities. In this book, he delves deeper into questions about the
self as both a psychological and socio-cultural entity,
particularly in the context of a global society for which
information has become a basic resource. His phenomenological
approach accounts for the self both as a site of highly subjective
and intimate experiences, such as crying, laughing and loving, and
in relation to social structural dynamics, through more impersonal
experiences, such as the experience of time, and links of the self
to politics. Melucci explores the critical search for meaning at
the boundary of visible collective processes and individual
day-to-day experience.
