自我的概念在最近的社会学著作中重新出现，通过后期现代自我项目的想法和福柯对自我技术的概念化。然而，在这里，我主张回到一个关于自我的理论化的古老传统，它源自乔治赫伯特米德的实用主义思想。在阅读米德的理论化的自我与他的工作时间，我强调的时间性，反身性和社会性的自我。米德的方法，我认为，有一些优势，分析自我和自我的叙事结构。它在坚持自我的社会性的同时允许人类的能动性;它弥合了自我作为自我意识塑造和叙述的自我与主观性作为不稳定和不稳定的自我之间的概念鸿沟;它避免了任何固定或核心自我的概念，同时避免了对自我的过度碎片化和分散的看法;而且，在将自我叙事概念化为象征性建构的同时，它也承认过去事件和经验的现实性。最后，我认为，这种观点可能是特别富有成效的女性主义分析性别和性的自我。
The idea of the self has re-emerged in recent sociological writing through the idea of the late modern project of the self and through Foucault's conceptualisation of technologies of self. Here, however I advocate a return to an older tradition of theorising on the self, deriving from the pragmatist thought of George Herbert Mead. In reading Mead's theorisation of the self in conjunction with his work on time I highlight the temporality, reflexivity and sociality of the self. Mead's approach, I argue, has a number of advantages for analysing the self and narrative constructions of self. It allows for human agency while insisting on the sociality of the self; it bridges the conceptual divide between the self as self-consciously fashioned and narrated and subjectivity as precarious and unstable; it eschews any notion of a fixed or core self while avoiding an overly fragmented and decentred view of the self; and, while conceptualising narratives of self as symbolic constructions, it acknowledges the actuality of past events and experience. Finally I suggest that this perspective could be particularly fruitful for feminist analyses of gendered and sexual selves.
