内容简介
First published in Italian to widespread acclaim, this work is a challenging account of the relationship between the structure of the self and the structure of narrative. Drawing a diverse array of thinkers from philosophical and literary traditions, including Hannah Arendt, Karen Blixen, Rilke and Borges, Adriana Cavarero's theory of the "narratable self" shows how narrative models in philosophy and literature can open new ways of thinking about formation of human identities. By showing how each human being has a unique story that can be told about them, and that only others can tell us this story, Adriana Cavarero inaugurates a shift in thinking about subjectivity and identity by asking not "what" we are, but "who" we are.
