Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians Burton Tara Isabella
An exploration into the curation of the self in Western civilization from Da Vinci to Kim Kardashian.In a technologically-saturated era where nearly everything can be effortlessly and digitally reproduced, we're all hungry to carve out our own unique personalities, our own bespoke personae, to stand out and be seen. Yet, this phenomenon is not new. As the forces of social media and capitalism collide, and individualism becomes more important than ever across a wide array of industries, "branding ourselves" or actively defining our selves for others has become the norm.
Through a series of chronological biographical essays In Self-Made, Tara Isabella Burton shows us how we arrived at this moment of fervent personal-branding.As attitudes towards religion, politics and society evolved, our sense of self did as well, moving from a collective to individual mindset.
