THE SELF AND CULTURE
According to French anthropologist Marcel Mauss:
Every self has two faces: personne and moi
Personne – refers to the social concepts of what it means to be who
he is
-has much to do with what it means to live in a particular institution,
a particular family, a particular religion, a particular nationality, and
how to behave given expectations and influences from others
Moi- refers to a person’s sense of who he is, his body and his basic
identity , his biological givenness.
