I admit that I have not been following all the dialogue lately... end of semester and all... but I did think this was interesting, especially the way the authors "used "dialogic self theory," which differentiates between the "Meta-self" and multiple selves. According to the authors, multiple selves have unique perspectives and speak from different positions with relatively independent voices, while the Meta-self reflects a distanced neutral perspective." Interesting terminology. Some of the related stories may also be of interest with regard to considering the theoretical understandings pertaining to consumerism. Perhaps a healthy dose of Marx is needed? ~em Subject: ScienceDaily: Talking to ourselves: How consumers navigate choices and inner conflict emily (emily@uidaho.edu) has sent you a link to the following page on ScienceDaily: Talking to ourselves: How consumers navigate choices and inner conflict http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091117161210.htm >From simple decisions like "Should I eat this brownie?" to bigger questions such as "Should my next car be a hybrid?" consumers are involved in an inner dialogue that reflects thoughts and perspectives of their different selves, according to the authors of a new study. * Note: the sender's email address has not been verified. _______________________________________________ xmca mailing list xmca@weber.ucsd.edu http://dss.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmca
