The study of the interplay between the individual self and collective selves is an arena of rich theory and research in social psychology. Self and Social Identity is a collection of readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology that examine how group memberships shape the content of the individual's self concept and how the sense of self is expanded as a consequence of identification with other individuals and the group as a whole.

Este destacado escritor chino es el primero que obtiene el Premio Nobel de Literatura, en su país. Sólo entonces se comienza a reconocer allí su enorme talento artístico. Sus influencias apuntan en lo formal a Europa, aunque no falta la referencia a la tradición asiática cuando quiere hablar de la época que le tocó vivir. Ésta es su obra más conocida. Fue escrita entre los años 1982 y 1989. Relata la peregrinación de un etnólogo en la China Septentrional durante la Revolución, en busca de culturas originarias. La novela recuerda la idea grandiosa del romanticismo alemán en la poesía. El autor utiliza técnicas narrativas muy distintas de la ocupadas por otros creadores chinos pero, eso sí, consigue darle a todo el ambiente contado, un toque único, personal, y al mismo tiempo universal.
