Lecture 1: Narrating the Self

Comments on the E-Lecture:

Explanation - what actually is writing the self?
Self is in constant change. It emerges and develops over time.
The development of the self comes from interactions with other people, the society in general.
Performing the self is about how I adapt myself to the places I'm in and the people I am talking to, the way that I act. We perform different facettes of ourselves.
