Ruth Robbins examines the diverse factors which shape the self in language. Through readings of autobiographical texts written during the last three centuries, Robbins argues for a concept of subjectivity that takes account of the material world in which selves come into being, placing this psychoanalytic idea in a broader, but more rigorous, theoretical framework. |
