Outside Belongings by Elspeth Probyn
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.
Elspeth Probyn is professor and chair of gender and cultural studies at the University of Sydney. Her previous books include Sexing the Self (1993), Outside Belongings (1996), Carnal Appetites (2000), and Sexy Bodies (1995). She has also coedited a collection on the ethics of new forms of media and is a columnist for the Australian.
