Alberto Melucci Libri

Exploring the concept of self in the context of a global, information-driven society, this influential work delves into how modern communication and technology shape individual identity. The author presents thought-provoking ideas that challenge traditional notions of selfhood, emphasizing the impact of interconnectedness and digital culture on personal and social dynamics. This book is essential for understanding the complexities of identity in today's rapidly changing world.

Alberto Melucci brings an original perspective to research on collective action, emphasizing the role of culture and making telling connections with the experience of the individual in postmodern society. The focus is on the role of information in a world both fragmented and globalized, and topics addressed include political conflict, feminism, ecology, identity politics, power and inequality. The book builds on the author's Nomads of the Present (1989), and is a companion volume to The Playing Self (CUP, 1996).
