Postmodern Theorists Have Questioned the Relevance of the Concept of Self

Postmodern theorists have questioned the relevance of the concept of self to life in contemporary society. This is in part because, from this perspective, identities are:

A) based on collective, rather than individual, affiliations
B) idiosyncratic, superficial, and transitory
C) rooted in social structure rather than individual preference
D) the result of the process of self-categorization
E) unrelated to important aspects of contemporary life, such as participation in leisure activities and the use of social media
