This volume brings together the usually segregated areas of interpersonal and mass communication, and also incorporates work from sociology, psychology and women's studies. Each contributor examines our understanding of self both within a specific context of mediated culture and within a specific theoretical framework, such as critical theory, social constructionism, and feminism.Inquiries in social construction.Identity (Psychology)IndividualitySelfSocial aspectsSelfIdentity (Psychology)Individuality.SelfSocial aspects.Self.155.2Grodin Debra144018Lindlof Thomas R143568MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958313803321Constructing the self in a mediated world4415255UNINA
