| dc.description.abstract | In this study,The celebrity figure Mother Teresa is valorized as a messianic figure that has descended down to earth as a redeemer of those characters are victimized by poverty, social indifference, oppression,exclusion and various other types of illness, maladies and miseries. Her compassion and her dedication to the betterment of the poorest of the poor are sufficient proof to claim that she is a Christ figure. The flexible and shifting nature of Teresa's nature is examined from the vantage point of Stuart Hall's theory of identity and formative forces that shape and sustain it. Judith A. Howard's notion of politicized notion of identity also constitutes the methodological framework of this study. The sole thrust of this thesis is to examine how Teresa keeps on cultivating identity as per the demand of new scenarios in which she participated for the promotion of the collective well being of those who belong to the lower level of social strata. Key Words:Identity, Mother Teresa, Service. Compassion, Care, Solidarity, Brotherhood | en_US |
