Writing for a wide readership, Elliott tries to clarify various social, cultural, political, and psychological aspects of the self in our changing world. He covers self, society, and everyday life; the repression of the self; technologies of the self; self, sexuality, and gender; the postmodern self; and the individualized self from reinvention to mobile lives.
