This book draws on the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer to inform
a feminist perspective of social identities. Lauren Swayne Barthold
moves beyond answers that either defend the objective nature of
identities or dismiss their significance altogether. Building on
the work of both hermeneutic and non-hermeneutic feminist theorists
of identity, she asserts the relevance of concepts like horizon,
coherence, dialogue, play, application, and festival for developing
a theory of identity. This volume argues that as intersubjective
interpretations, social identities are vital ways of fostering
meaning and connection with others. Barthold also demonstrates how
a hermeneutic approach to social identities can provide critiques
of and resistance to identity-based oppression.
