My interest in my past and nostalgia led to looking into a more psychological side of self awareness. I explored the question ‘The relationship between our psychological self-awareness in technology and Lacan’s mirror stage’.
The mirror stage is a concept in the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan. The mirror stage is based on the belief that infants recognize themselves in a mirror (literal) or other symbolic contraption which induces a perception (the turning of oneself into an object that can be viewed by the child from outside themselves) from the age of about six months.
