It would seem that even Denzin (1993) recognizes the linguistic and ritual dimensions necessary to experience a core self:Action, character, poise, appearances, the icons of glamour and risk; these are the surface structures of a world out of touch with itself. The surface, superficial, postmodern self. Actors in this world cannot find themselves if they are confined solely to its linguistic systems. They must break out of these codes and find a deeper, more personal, private language, if they are to discover the self they seek. (1993:75)
