Module 02.3 - Process and Context of Selfhood

This document discusses the process and context of selfhood. It covers three main topics: biological influences on the self, the psychosocial construction of the self, and the situated self. The situated self refers to how the self is shaped by physical surroundings through collective memory, identity formation, power relations, media influences, spatial practices, and agency. Places provide a framework for memory and are imbued with emotions that contribute to identity. Collective memory and identity are constructed socially and personally within various physical spaces.
