"Tristan Garcia propose ici un modèle original des identités politiques. Empruntant à toutes les traditions, du marxisme au fascisme, de la pensée libérale à la pensée réactionnaire, du féminisme, de l'anticolonialisme, de l'éthique animale ou de l'écologie profonde au fondamentalisme religieux, il s'intéresse également aux grands discours et aux petites phrases, il prend au sérieux les manifestes, les slogans aussi bien que les chansons qui parlent de "nous", pour tâcher d'élucider notre condition embrouillée. Le livre donne ainsi à voir le "nous" comme une superposition de calques, de plans transparents de notre imaginaire, sur lesquels nous prétendons tous découper l'espace social en espèces, en genres, en races, en classes ou en générations, pour nous y situer. Ce qui en ressort est un modèle inédit et vivant de ce que nous sommes, une identité dynamique, qui s'étend et se replie sans cesse suivant une logique que l'auteur révèle peu à peu, au fil d'un récit historique et intellectuel construit comme une enquête palpitante. C'est également une tentative radicale de repenser l'existence politique en trouvant dans la "guerre de nous contre nous" une forme universelle qui nous tient toujours ensemble, au moment précis où elle paraît nous déchirer."--Page 4 of cover.

Identity is never just an individual matter; it is intricately shaped by our experiences of social life. Taking a Symbolic Interactionist approach, and drawing on Goffman s dramaturgical theory, Susie Scott explores the micro-social processes of interaction through which identities are created, maintained, challenged and reinvented. With a focus on empirical studies as illustrations, classic sociological theory is applied to contemporary examples. Each chapter focuses on a key dimension of how identities are negotiated in the drama of everyday life, from politeness and face-saving rituals to secrecy, lies and deception. Goffman s ideas are explored in relation to self-presentation, role-making, group interaction and public behaviour, while language and discourse are shown to help people to give credible identity performances and to frame social situations. The book reveals how social selves change over the life course through stigma, labelling and deviant careers, and how life in a total institution can radically transform its members' identities. Through all of these processes, self and society are shown to be intertwined. This insightful approach will appeal to students taking a range of courses in the sociology of the self, identity, interaction and everyday life.

""Verra-t-on bientôt une carte identitaire remplacer nos vieilles cartes d'identité ? Devra-t-on déclarer nos origines sur quatre générations, notre ethnie, notre religion ? "Sois et éternellement demeure", garde l'étiquette qu'on t'a apposée et qui va t'accompagner toute ton existence ! Telle est l'injonction qui s'élève des temples anciens et modernes, des édifices religieux et des hypermarchés. Ces dernières années, nos sociétés se sont transformées en gigantesques laboratoires pour identités devenues folles. La panique identitaire est le nouveau fléau qui vise non pas le lointain mais le voisin, de la Seine aux rives du Gange, de Glasgow à Barcelone. Jamais la tentation de se construire dans le rejet d'autrui n'a été portée à un tel degré d'incandescence. Est-ce vraiment ce monde-là que nous désirons ?"--P. [4] of cover.

"Cet ouvrage présente une série de recherches centrées sur la question de l'identité sociale et de sa dynamique, en relation avec l'action, ce qui lui confère une perspective originale. L'identité sociale est régulée par des processus complexes qui définissent à la fois des représentations de soi et du monde, où le contexte social et le monde intérieur de la personne sont en interaction permanente, dans une variabilité temporelle. L'action apparaît ainsi comme une fonction identitaire dans la mesure où elle participe à la construction du sens de soi et des rapports à l'environnement, aux normes sociales et organisationnelles. Cette perspective est ici analysée à partir des "effets capacitaires" de l'action qui mobilisent l'individu dans la construction de ses projets à la fois personnels et professionnels. De nombreux chercheurs, à travers leurs investigations, vont révéler l'influence de l'action sur la dynamique identitaire dans les domaines organisationnels, culturels et de la santé : socialisation professionnelle de demandeurs d'emplois, changement et effet de mobilité au travail, conflits interculturels et intégration scolaire de jeunes migrants, harcèlement moral et identité... Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants de tous les cycles L, M, D, enseignants, formateurs et praticiens de ces différents domaines, ainsi qu'aux responsables d'entreprises."--P. [4] of cover.

"We know that it matters crucially to be able to say who we are, why we are here, and where we are going, " Peter Brooks writes in Enigmas of Identity. Many of us are also uncomfortably aware that we cannot provide a convincing account of our identity to others or even ourselves. Despite or because of that failure, we keep searching for identity, making it up, trying to authenticate it, and inventing excuses for our unpersuasive stories about it. This wide-ranging book draws on literature, law, and psychoanalysis to examine important aspects of the emergence of identity as a peculiarly modern preoccupation. In particular, the book addresses the social, legal, and personal anxieties provoked by the rise of individualism and selfhood in modern culture. Paying special attention to Rousseau, Freud, and Proust, Brooks also looks at the intersection of individual life stories with the law, and considers the creation of an introspective project that culminates in psychoanalysis. Elegant and provocative, Enigmas of Identity offers new insights into the questions and clues about who we think we are.

'We are more alike than we are unalike. But the way we are unalike matters. To be male in Saudi Arabia, Jewish in Israel or white in Europe confers certain powers and privileges that those with other identities do not have. In other words identity can represent a material fact in itself'. Gary Younge demonstrates, in his urgent and brilliantly illuminating new book, that how we define ourselves affects every part of our lives: from violence on the streets to international terrorism; from changes in our laws to whom we elect; and, from our personal safety to military occupations. Moving between fascinating memoir and searing analysis, from beauty contests in Ireland to the personal views of Tiger Woods, from the author's own terrifying student days in Paris to the truth behind the Danish cartoons controversy, Gary Younge makes surprising and enlightening connections and a devastating critique of the way our society really works.

The concept of identity has become increasingly prominent in the social sciences and humanities. Analysis of the development of social identities is an important focus of scholarly research, and scholars using social identities as the building blocks of social, political, and economic life have attempted to account for a number of discrete outcomes by treating identities as causal factors. The dominant implication of the vast literature on identity is that social identities are among the most important social facts of the world in which we live. Abdelal, Herrera, Johnston, and McDermott have brought together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to consider the conceptual and methodological challenges associated with treating identity as a variable, offer a synthetic theoretical framework, and demonstrate the possibilities offered by various methods of measurement. The book represents a collection of empirically-grounded theoretical discussions of a range of methodological techniques for the study of identities.

This third edition builds on the international success of previous editions, offering an easy access critical introduction to social science theories of identity, for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. All of the previous chapters have been updated and extra material has been added where relevant, for example, on globalization. Two new chapters have been added; one addresses the debate about whether identity matters, discussing, for example, Brubaker; the second reviews the postmodern approach to identity. The text is informed by relevant topical examples throughout and, as with earlier editions, the emphasis is on sociology, anthropology and social psychology, focusing on the interplay between relationships of similarity and difference; on interaction; on the categorization of others as well as self-identification; and on power, institutions and organizations.

Social identity research has transformed psychology and the social sciences. Developed around intergroup relations, perspectives on social identity have now been applied fruitfully to a diverse array of topics and domains, including health, organizations and management, culture, politics and group dynamics. In many of these new areas, the focus has been on groups, but also very much on the autonomous individual. This has been an exciting development, and has prompted a rethinking of the relationship between personal identity and social identity - the issue of individuality in the group. This book brings together an international selection of prominent researchers at the forefront of this development. They reflect on this issue of individuality in the group, and on how thinking about social identity has changed. Together, these chapters chart a key development in the field: how social identity perspectives inform understanding of cohesion, unity and collective action, but also how they help us understand individuality, agency, autonomy, disagreement, and diversity within groups.This text is valuable to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying social psychology where intergroup relations and group processes are a central component. Given its wider reach, however, it will also be of interest to those in cognate disciplines where social identity perspectives have application potential.
