Self-representation definition

Self-representation means the construction of a personal and professional identity able to recognize and empower individual and collective narratives. Here, when we talk about identity we are talking about values, symbols and practices. “Acknowledgement” means mutual recognition of identities produced in other sub-cultural contexts. Recognition leads to a public reputation and this leads to trust8.
Self-representation means not only that the accused can act alone without the assistance of a defence counsel, but also that he can decides the defence strategy. In this sense, as it has already been noticed, the danger of an abuse is high and sometimes it is the only real effect of self-representation for a defendant that since the very beginning refuse to cooperate in the proceeding.
