Drawing on ideas from Charles Sanders Peirce, George Herbert Mead, Kenneth Burke, and Mikhail Bakhtin, this work focuses on the centrality of the social act in describing and understanding the beingness of the human individual, situating such acts in dialogic and rhetorical processes. Such processes enable actors to give presence to their selves and, it is claimed, put them into play by using both a logic and a poetic of identity. These arguments are supported by an analysis of everyday conversations, certain inter-personal encounters, and acts of reading and watching sporting engagements.

Reviews for Presence Of Self
Perinbanayagam's work provides stimulating analyses of the ways and means the self is so constituted. Included in this account is a fascinating effort to show how rhetorical, theatrical, logical, and poetical structures reside in the ways the self is made present. There is much here that fits well with a social phenomenological account.
