The Self and Culture: Exploring the Interplay of Personne and Moi, Slides of Advanced Education

This document explores the concept of the self and its intricate relationship with culture, as examined by sociologist Marcel Mauss. It examines the duality of the self, comprising the personal, biological moi and the socially constructed personne shaped by institutions, family, religion, and nationality. The document highlights how the capacity to assume different personnes can be understood through cross-cultural comparisons, using examples like the transformation of a suitor's behavior before and after a relationship commitment. It also explores the role of language in social constructivism, drawing insights from the Filipino language. The document further discusses the active participation of individuals in shaping their own self, mediated by language acquisition and social interactions, as proposed by Mead and Vygotsky. Overall, this document provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between the self and culture.

THE SELF AND

CULTURE

MARCEL MAUSS

Every self has two faces: Personne and Moi

MOI – refers to a person sense of who he is, his

body and his basic identity, his biological givens.

PERSONNE – composed of the social concept of

what it means to be who he is.

  • It has so much to do with what it means to live in a

particular institution, family, religion, nationality

and how to behave in a given expectations and

influences from others.

Example: Iloveyou Mahal Kita Evening Gabi Mahal – Love – Expensive Gabi – Night – Vegetable

 Language is a gender-neutral

Example: Third Person in English ( He, She ) Third person in Filipino ( siya ) – There is no specific gender

 Language has a big impact to our culture.

QUESTIONS: WHAT IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE? WHAT SHOULD BE THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE? LOVE OR ENGLISH

THE SELF AND THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOCIAL WORLD

 One is believe to be in active participation in the
shaping of the self. Most often, we think the human
person are just passive actors in the whole process in
the shaping of shape. That men and women are born
with particularities that they can no longer change.
 Recent studies, however, indicate that when and
women in their growth and development engage
actively in the shaping of the self.
 The unending terrain of metamorphosis of the self is
mediated by language.

MEAD AND VYGOTZKY  (^) For Mead and Vygotsky, the way that human persons develop is with the use of language acquisition and interaction with others. The way that we process information is normally a form of internal dialogue in our head.  (^) Cognitive and Emotional development of a child is always a mimicry of how it is done in the social world, in the external reality where he is in.  (^) Both Mead and Vygotsky treat the human mind as something that is made, constituted through language as experience in the external world.
