Opis

Outside Belongings argues against a psychological depth model of identity--one in which individuals possess an intrinsic quality that guarantees authentic belonging. Instead, Probyn proposes a model of identity that takes into account the desires of individuals, and groups of individuals, to belong. The main ideas she considers--"the outside," "the surface," and "belonging"--allow her to articulate, in concrete terms, her precise concerns about sexuality and nationality.
