Entering the Field from Inside Out

Abstract

In that context, Adam Curle offers to my eyes a highly interesting engagement with the interplay between different levels of awareness and types of identity and how these influence human behavior, especially in regard to social action (Curle 1972: 9). It is important to note that Curle distinguishes between self-conscious awareness and supraliminal awareness (Curle 1972: 19). By the former, he refers particularly to awareness that originates from arranged, regular, and purposeful experiences to gain insight into one’s derivations of motives, attitudes, values, and behavioral habits (Curle 1972: 18 et seq.).
