Outside Belongings

Know about the book -

Outside Belongings is written by Elspeth Probyn and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317958799 (ISBN 10) and 9781317958796 (ISBN 13).

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.
