Jonathan Rutherford returns here to a theme on which he has written
widely, to revisit its cultural and political relevance for the new
century. Identity is the means by which individuals struggle to
give themselves meaning and representation, and has been the site
of historic struggles - in particular against racism, misogyny and
homophobia. But identity is in danger of being wrested away from
its liberation ethic. Co-opted by the market, it is increasingly
seen as a private and individualised affair. "After Identity"
explores some of the ethical resources that might help an
engagement with the current predicaments of identity. It argues
that we need a better account of how we define human being, and of
the changing dynamic between individuality and society, through
which identities are made and remade. In rethinking the idea of the
individual, what might come after identity, Jonathan Rutherford
addresses this question in a series of essays - on individuality,
race and asylum, identity and history, masculinity and war,
ecological ethics and ageing.
