The notion of 'selfhood' conjures up images of self-sufficiency,
integrity, introspectiveness, and autonomy - characteristics
typically associated with 'modernity.' The seventeenth century
marks the crucial transition to a new form of 'bourgeois' selfhood,
although the concept goes back to the pre-modern and early modern
period. A richly interdisciplinary collection, Space and Self
integrates perspectives from history, history of literature, and
history of art to link the issue of selfhood to the new and vital
literature on space.
As Space and Self shows, there have at all times been multiple
paths and alternative possibilities for forming identities, marking
personhood, and experiencing life as a concrete, singular
individual. Positioning self and space as specific and evolving
constructs, a diverse group of contributors explore how persons
become embodied in particular places or inscribed in concrete
space. Space and Self thus sets the terms for current discussion of
these topics and provides new approaches to studying their cultural
specificity.
