Ian, the City Lit tutor, recapped where we had got to.
Gen Doy, The Modern Self says the Cartesian and Freudian self is male - challenged by the feminine.
The Essential ego is rational, and conflicts with the unconscious true self id.
Female subjectivity is constructed by men and challenged/reclaimed by feminists.
Post colonial theory concerns 'othering' by while westernised men (Stuart Hall).
Contemporary self - non essentialist yet in possession of agency - the potential to build the self "I create myself - therefore I am"
Post modernist self - identity is a social construct, fragmented, plural, external and imposed. There is no true self - "I can be anybody".
Creativity - a network of connections, using self as subjectivity. Self has agency to make connections. Self has the acceptance of imperfection; differences, and many right answers.
I did not really understand the debate about what the creative self is.
Originality?
Seeing in a new way (to you) for self
Authentic
Self belief and determination
Overcome self doubt
Creativity of the hand - just make.
Look at Ken Robinson Ted Talks on creativity. The power of the collective creativity.
