Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 2013.

This is a dissertation on the relation between narrative and selfhood. I begin by defining a philosophical tradition out of which the narrative conception of self emerges. This tradition of thinking is characterized by the unity and coherency of the self. I then go on to define the narrative conception of the self. However, I object to the narrative conception of the self on the grounds that it is unable to fix on what the content of our self-narrative should be.

520 $a This is a dissertation on the relation between narrative and selfhood. I begin by defining a philosophical tradition out of which the narrative conception of self emerges. This tradition of thinking is characterized by the unity and coherency of the self. I then go on to define the narrative conception of the self. However, I object to the narrative conception of the self on the grounds that it is unable to fix on what the content of our self-narrative should be.
520 $a I introduce a concept that has so far been left out of discussions of narrative and selfhood, Stanley Cavell's concept of acknowledgment. I argue that selfhood requires that we acknowledge who we are. One of the ways in which we can acknowledge who we are, as I illustrate through the use of the example of Hal from Shakespeare's Henriad, is through theatricalizing ourselves. This involves being beheld by an audience and turning ourselves into a character.
520 $a In the final chapter of this dissertation, I argue that we can theatricalize ourselves and acknowledge ourselves through writing a literary narrative based on our lives. In a literary narrative we create a character out of ourselves and present ourselves to an audience. Therefore, I argue, the role of narrative plays in selfhood is not to define who we are but to serve as a means of acknowledging ourselves, which is requisite for selfhood.
