"A spectacular collection of essays by the most noted theorists of
identity. The book well frames the issues around identity that
presently are defining living in the early 21st century ... A must
read." - Patricia Ticineto Clough, City University, New York "A
wonderfully disparate and impressively distinguished set of authors
to address the question of identity. The result is exciting and
fruitful. No other book connects so elegantly sociological notions
of individualization with the psychoanalysis of melancholy." -
Scott Lash, Goldsmiths, University of London Identity in Question
brings together in a single volume the world's leading theorists of
identity to provide a decisive account of the debates surrounding
self and identity. Presenting incisive analyses of the impact of
globalization, postmodernism, psychoanalysis and post-feminism upon
our imaginings of self, this book explores the complexity,
contentiousness and significance of current debates over identity
in the social sciences and the public sphere. As these
contributions make clear, mapping the contours and consequences of
transformations in identity in our globalizing world is not simply
an academic exercise. It is a pressing concern for public and
political debates. As identity continues its move to the centre of
political life, so too do the possibilities for creatively
re-imagining how we choose to live, both individually and
collectively, in an age of uncertainty and insecurity. Identity in
Question is essential reading for all students of self, identity,
individualism and individualization.
