This fascinating interdisciplinary study presents a critique of
social constructionist identity politics, which is distinguished
from specific identity-based political positions, from within and
with social constructionist commitments. The first half of the book
focuses on the conceptual aspect of such politics with regard to
the humanities generally. In particular, the logic of embodiment,
the nuances of institutionalization, and recent developments in
this area are discussed. Gupta also examines the
institutionalization of social constructionist identity politics in
literary studies, considering the role of self-announcements in
critical writing, theory textbooks, and notions of canonicity.
