Asceticism, differentiation, government : 'anorexia nervosa' as an achievement


Autoria(s): Tait, Gordon
Data(s)

1992

Resumo

As with the ancient Greeks, the `self' is not something to be discovered, it is something to be created. Practices such as ascetic fasting are not expressions of the struggle between the authentic self and the external world, they are the very practices by which a `self' is formed.
