ABSTRACT
Recently, dialogical self theory has presented an appealing alternative theoretical tool for the study of identity and self. There is an old tradition of intellectual debates between those who favor individualistic descriptions of human affairs and others who give privilege to social accounts of human life. The dialogical self is characterized as a complex, multiple, and narratively structured self. The dialogical self theory has been considered a promising theory in terms of deconstruction of the traditional ideas of self and as an alternative route to develop knowledge about the human psyche. Human life is always a matter of relating with the world. However, this relation is not just material, such as the type of relationship that takes place between two physical objects. Human relations and meaning-making are based in recursive and generalized patterns that enable some stability, something leading to the construction of familiarity and continuity of the self in the midst of situational and experiential novelty.
