Product Description
Deconstructionism has meant that theoretical debates are increasingly concerned with layers of meaning and representation. Mary Evans uses auto/biography to examine whether the `real' person can ever be discovered using this medium. She then goes on to explore how individuals have acted to construct themselves, using four case studies to highlight the different choices made and the social influences involved.
