This study examines a series of self-representations from the 19th
century (by Goethe, Sand, Nietzsche) that obstruct a confessional
and psychologizing mode by diminishing the significance of the
self. The theoretical inspiration is drawn from thinkers like
Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others,
who give priority to the individual's close attachment to a
multifaceted world. This approach will lead us to themes and
concepts like "participation," "perception," "togetherness,"
"otherness," "corporeality," "collectivism," "publicness," and
"sociality." Vanishing Selves displays different forms of
attachment to the world and identifies the ethical and existential
potential in the affirmation of a world.
