Character: The History of a Cultural Obsession - Marjorie Garber
Shared by:hdgdf
This panoramic look at the concept of character reveals cultural shifts, unexploded fallacies, and more than a little bad behavior, rhetorical and otherwise. What does it mean to have character or to say that one has character issues? To what extent are character traits or character types fixed or mutable, innate or conditioned, essential or enacted? What about the character of a nation or a group of people?
Surveying philosophical, literary, and social science perspectives as well as recent political rhetoric, the author finds that character is a bewilderingly slippery abstraction that has endured and evolved. Once an assertion of ethical substance and personal virtue, more recent usage implies that character is something to be performed, not built. Too often, it is defined by its absence, as in actions deemed out of character or when someone’s character is praised despite despicable actions. The author wonders if the concept is so hollowed out by misuse that it should be retired, but in the end, she views character as a mirror reflecting the contradictions

The idea of character is yet another example of brainwashing in society. For example, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most of the white men I’ve met in my life have been arrogant, angry, belligerent, unable to admit they’re wrong, constantly trying to show how tough they are, yelling when proven wrong and in general, trying to make sure they are never observed doing anything that other white men would consider ‘weak’. It’s a sad way to live your life, but that’s the power of socialization.
