Outside Belongingsargues against a psychological depth model of identity-one in which individuals possess an intrinsic quality that guarantees authentic belonging. Instead, Probyn proposes a model of identity that takes into account the desires of individuals, and groups of individuals, to belong. The main ideas she considers-the outside, the surface, and belonging-allow her to articulate, in concrete terms, her precise concerns about sexuality and nationality. | Outside Belongings by Elspeth Probyn, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
