Description
A name always carries a certain power and significance. This concept is explored in "What's in a Name?", which examines the relationship between names and the social roles they represent. The author, Mladen Dolar, delves into the idea that assuming a name implies a claim to power and social identity. However, this assumption can lead to feelings of imposture and uncertainty, as there is no inherent justification for one's right to bear a particular name. This thought-provoking book invites readers to consider the complex dynamics surrounding names and their impact on our sense of self and belonging.
