Many of us feel a pressing desire to be different--to be other than who we are. The essays in Self-Alteration come at the subject of the self and its becoming through case studies of modes of transformation of the self. They do this with social processes and projects that reveal how the self acquires a non-trivial new meaning in and through its very process of alteration.
