Abstract

This article examines the relation between the self and the concept of gender positions. It considers the possibility that young women with few resources for fashioning a strong sense of self use anorexia as a mode of negotiating societal strictures. It suggests that the institutional imprinting of a certain image and a certain kind of third-person observation imposed on the girls/patients/anorexics is just such an exercise of subjectification.

Theoretical and empirical academic research into emotions has, for the most part, fallen into two positions, social constructionism and naturalism. These standpoints have articulated the most important issues and they have spawned research into the most important factors regarding emotions. Resolving the conflict between them will therefore go a long way toward establishing the true nature of emotions and other psychological phenomena as well. [REVIEW]Carl Ratner - 1989 - Journal of Mind and Behavior 10:211-230.
