Individuation, the process of othering, and the ideology of sameness
|
| |
The definition of the word 'individuation' implies a process of
"othering", that is, to differentiate out of group identity. To see
the "Other" is necessary for a true relationship to develop, so it is
not anti-social. But the notion of "othering" has also been used to
denote a political agenda of domination and oppression. Individuation... more »
