Identity without Selfhood proposes a conception of identity and
subjectivity in the context of recent post-structuralist and queer
debates. The author argues that efforts to analyse and even
'deconstruct' identity and selfhood still rely on certain core
Western techniques of identity such as individuality, boundedness,
autonomy, self-realisation and narrative. In a detailed study of
biographical, media and academic representations of Simone de
Beauvoir, Dr Fraser illustrates that bisexuality, by contrast, is
discursively produced as an identity which exceeds the confines of
the self and especially the individuality ascribed to de Beauvoir.
In the course of this analysis, she draws attention to the high
costs incurred by processes of subjectification. it is in the light
of these costs that, while drawing substantially on, and expanding,
Foucault's notion of techniques of the self, the argument presented
in the book also offers a critique of Foucault's work from a
Deleuzo-Guattarian perspective.
