The Fully Saturated Self Becomes No Self At All & "Hunt For Red October"

Abstract: In 16 pages the author discuses "The Saturated Self" and "The Hunt for Red October." "The Saturated Self: Dilemmas of Identity in Contemporary Life " by Kenneth J. Gergen is a study of how travel and communications technology has fragmented experience such that one's idea of the self is obsolete. Gergen states that "The fully saturated self becomes no self at all." The movie version of "The Hunt for Red October" is examined while answering the question "To what extent does 'The Hunt for Red October' support Gergen's statement?" No additional sources cited.
