  1. What follows are some guiding questions for our reading series as per our Thursday March 1 discussion.

    1) What are the normative stakes in how the self is conceived and articulated in different theoretical perspectives (postcol, cogsci, ct, gnlgy)?

    2) What notions of the self are either implicitly or explicitly articulated within notions of normativity, sociality, history, &c.? What notions of the self are articulated as a result of different different normative orders (e.g., different social-historical practices)?

    3) What are the advantages and limitations of construing the self as 'selving' or as 'self-'? How can the self be conceptualized as a specifically reflexive process of reworking? Can such a conceptualization be applied not only to 'individual' persons but also to 'social' groups?

    4) What assumptions are loaded into the genealogical account of the self? On what basis is a genealogy of the self possible? Or is it even possible at all?
