Probyn, Elspeth Outside Belongings (0415915848)
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.
