Identity in Times of Crisis, Part III: Identity and Language 2: The Quest of ‘Self’
from Orientalistics: Podcast on Language, Religion and Culture · host Farshid Delshad
Identity in Times of Crisis, Part III: Identity and Language 2: The Quest of ‘Self’ Summary In this episode, I explore the concept of the self and how it has evolved across cultures and philosophies. Drawing from the framework proposed by psychologist Ulrich Neisser, I break down the term 'self' into five categories: Ecological, Interpersonal, Remembered, Private, and Conceptual. I also touch on the history of the self in linguistic anthropology, from its fusion with the clan in rituals to its moral and spiritual significance in Roman society, Christianity, and Protestant thought. Join me as we discuss how language and culture shape our understanding of identity. Share your thoughts, and don’t forget to tune in for the next episode!
