| Popis | This focus on the self as the center both of lived experience and of discernible meaning of modern and postmodern cultures. However, at the same time the subjectivity and self have become problematic concepts in the twentieth century. In my article I attempt to explore the construction of the "I" in Sylvia Plath’s autobiographical writings, namely their journals The Journals of Sylvia Plath and compare them with non-american view of Sylvia Plath's self that was represented in several interviews, newspaper articles, and documentraries. I will study and compare the subject presented in the above mentioned media and journal. Moreover, I will attempt to analyze the question of the self that has intrigued intellectuals for a long time, many of them referred to different kinds of 'I' as different kinds of selves. I will identify "the different selves" and describe how they function and affect the form/ genre of journal and if it corresponds to outer self of Plath revealed in the media. To reveal the author's "I" in the text I will also focus on the question of identity and the dislocation of her true self based on journals and foreign non-american mass media. |
