Many of us are also uncomfortably aware that we cannot provide a convincing account of our identity to others or even ourselves. Despite or because of that failure, we keep searching for identity, making it up, trying to authenticate it, and inventing excuses for our unpersuasive stories about it. This wide-ranging book draws on literature, law, and psychoanalysis to examine important aspects of the emergence of identity as a peculiarly modern preoccupation. In particular, the book addresses the social, legal, and personal anxieties provoked by the rise of individualism and selfhood in modern culture. Paying special attention to Rousseau, Freud, and Proust, Brooks also looks at the intersection of individual life stories with the law, and considers the creation of an introspective project that culminates in psychoanalysis. Elegant and provocative, Enigmas of Identity offers new insights into the questions and clues about who we think we are.Group identityBeethoven.Enlightenment.Jean-Jacques Rousseau.Marcel Proust.Matisse.Renaissance.Sigmund Freud.Stendhal.autoeroticism.cities.crime.culture.derealization.disciplined reproduction.disguise.double agent.egotism.fingerprinting.fingerprints.identificatory paradigm.identity paradigm.identity.impostor.imposture.individual identity.individualism.introspection.inviolate personality.late style.life stories.masturbation.misprision.modern culture.modern identity.modern nation-state.modern societies.modernity.narcissism.nascent capitalism.necessity.personal identity.privacy.private identity.proteanism.psychoanalysis.retrospective narrator.searches.seizures.self dissolution.self dramatization.self estrangement.self-dissolution.self-love.self-obsession.self-reflexiveness.self-reinvention.self.selfhood.sexuality.solipsism.spy.urbanism.Group identity.305Brooks Peter1938-184498MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781767203321Enigmas of identity3741204UNINA01282nam2 2200313 i 450 VAN0001001320240806100241.98888-420-5230-2IT98 1128420021120d1997 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||ˆ1: L'‰antichitàGiovanni Filoramo, Edmondo Lupieri, Salvatore PricocoRomaLaterza1997VIII, 475 p.21 cm.001VAN000051212001 Storia e società210 RomaBariLaterza001VAN000100102001 Storia del cristianesimoa cura di Giovanni Filoramo e Daniele Menozzi210 RomaLaterza215 v.21 cm.1RomaVANL000360FiloramoGiovanniVANV007485136210LupieriEdmondoVANV007764162574PricocoSalvatoreVANV007765162575Laterza <editore>VANV107871650ITSOL20240906RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZAIT-CE0105VAN00VAN00010013BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA00CONS XII.Ea.31 1 00 798444569 20021122 Antichità1402055UNICAMPANIA
