Abstract

This journal has been composed as part of the course ‘Dare to Compare’, part of the Social Science honours program, the von Humboldt college at the Utrecht University. The central subject of this course was self-image and identity and within this framework students have worked on a website, a film, a congress (www.fss.uu.nl/mediamyselfandi) and a website. The thirteen articles presented here in the second volume of Social Cosmos focus on how changes in different social worlds shape and give form to selfimage and identity. They do so within different social environments and through different disciplinary lenses: anthropology, social sciences, sociology, pedagogy, psychology.
