Alternative Conceptualizations of the Extended Self
Belk’s formulation of the extended self is an influential model of the way we incorporate persons, places, and things into identity. This paper compares extended self to four established alternatives: expanded self, extended mind, multiple selves, and actor network theory. They are found to provide unique emphases, assumptions, and applications.
