About This Book
In today's media-saturated world, identities are no longer built solely within the close-knit communities of family, neighborhood, school, and work. Media are part of our world today and therefore play an important role in the formulations of our identities or constructions of self.
In a truly postmodern mode, Constructing the Self in a Mediated World not only brings together the usually segregated areas of interpersonal and mass communication, but incorporates works from scholars in sociology, psychology, and women's studies as well. Each essay examines our understanding of self in a different context of mediated culture within a specific framework of interpretive theories such as critical theory, social constructionist theory, and feminism.
