Departing from an essentialist concept of the self, this volume
advances the cross-cultural study of selfhood with three
contributions to literature. First, it approaches the self as an
ideological process, arguing that selfhood is culturally situated
and emergent in social practices of persuasion. Second, it
demonstrates how postmodernity problematizes the experience and
concept of the self. Finally, the book challenges the pervasive
practice of equating an individuated self with the Western world
and a relational self with the non-Western world. Contributions
cover a broad range of topics - from the development of the
eccentric self to the ritual circumcision of Jewish males.
