Life in postmodernity is marked by rapid change and uncertainty. Increasingly, as tradition is worn away, individuals must create new scripts to give life meaning and structure. Through a case study of gays and lesbians, this project will investigate how a group of Australians are creating postmodern selves. Drawing on in-depth interviews, it traces the relationship between discursive and psychological accounts of the postmodern self and their political effects. With a particular interest in emotional life, this study will provide critical information on how individuals and communities can manage creatively the uncertain conditions of postmodernity.

后现代生活的特点是快速变化和不确定性。随着传统的逐渐消失，人们必须创造新的剧本来赋予生活的意义和结构。通过对同性恋者的个案研究，本项目将探讨一群澳大利亚人如何创造后现代自我。通过深入访谈，本文追溯了后现代自我的话语和心理解释与其政治影响之间的关系。随着情感生活的特别兴趣，这项研究将提供个人和社区如何创造性地管理后现代性的不确定条件的关键信息。
