Abstract
“It is typical of modernity that self-actualisation is essential to achieve self-identity” (Giddens 1990, It. transl. 1994: 155). This statement by Giddens “sounds” so natural to our ears that it is hard for us to imagine that a process other than that described could occur, or could ever have done so. In practice, it is difficult, if not impossible, for us to imagine a “self-identity” that is not inexorably linked to a process of “self-actualisation”. A non-actualised identity would be practically equivalent to the social ideal type of the “failure”.File in questo prodotto:
