everyday word for people’s sense of who they are
identity
This sense of oneself is formed through
[identity] interaction with others
- Since we are social beings who interact with and relate with others as members of social groups and communities, our identity is
not stable and unitary but shifting and multiple
our identity is not [blank] and [blanl] but [blank] and [blank]
stable and unitary, shifting and multiple
Our self-concept and others’ conception of us are one and the same
false: not necessarily
- A person’s identity is shaped by
his/her relationships with others
, it is fluid rather than fixed
person’s identity
is political as
well as personal.
a person’s identity
is influenced to a large extent by how others see us,
our self identity
we form our self-identity in the process of
interacting with other people.
They refer to a belief that values based on humanity are more important than religious dogmas or creeds and desires of human beings.
Liberal-humanist perspective
According to tthe Communiaction and Identity TheoryIdentity is constructed in and through
language
A person’s identity is constructed in
the process of interacting and
communicating with others
communication identity theory
How communication DIRECTLY define our identity?
through naming and kinship
terminologies
how does communication INDIRECTLY define our identity?
When we internalize judgments of ourselves, others, and
social groups based on our way of expressing ourselves.
In the process of identity construction, some of the conceptions that we form about ourselves and others that prove relevant to existing social structures are
maintained
- Those that have changed overtime are
refabricated
Those that are no longer relevant to the current conditions are
replaced

Four frames of identity according to the Communication Theory of Identity (CTI)
- Personal
- Enacted
- Relational
- Communal
encompasses what has traditionally been thought of as self and self-concept - the way an individual conceives of self
personal frame
Concerns our self-cognitions
(including self-image and selfconcept) or sense of being –
the way(/s) an individual
conceives of self.
personal frame
All personal dispositional
characteristics that help us to
make sense of who we are
belong to this frame.
personal frame
- Covers the performance
and outward expressions of
identity
enacted frame
from what we say and do and how we communicate our identity to others. We act our who we are as we interact.
enacted frame
- How we formulate
messages to express our
identity belongs to this
frame
enacted frame
Explains identity as something that
is embedded in our relationships
with others.
Relational Frame
Identities exist in relationship to
other identities AND relationships
are also units of identity.
relational frame
refers to identities that are invested
in relationships, exist in relationship
to each other, and are ascribed in
and through relationships.
relational frame
a relationship, itself, can be a unit of
identity
are held in common by groups rather than individuals. Finally, these identity frames are said to interpenetrate or intertwine with each other.
communal frame
Characteristics of
communities are held in
common by groups rather
than individuals
communal frame
A shared version of
“personhood” or a
collective identity
communal frame
a tendency to see members of a
group as homogeneous, but the potential conflicts that
emerge from competing enactments of identities must be
skillfully negotiated.
identity management
which are defined as disconnects between
and among the various frames that challenge identity
management
identity gaps
Identity is x rather than x, and y rather than y
dynamic, static ; multiple, singular
The idea that identity is performed is similar to
sociologist Erving Goffman’s concept of self as
performance (articulated in his book The
Presentation of Self in Everyday Life published in
1959)
performance of identity
their interactions with others individuals are
considered as performing or acting out a role
and a version of themselves, and are engaged
in a process of impression management.
performance of identity
- a set of ideas about one’s
own ethnic group membership. It typically
includes several dimensions:
ethnic identity
three dimensions of ethnic identity
(1) self-identification,
(2) knowledge about the ethnic
culture (traditions, customs, values, and
behaviors), and
(3) feelings about belonging to a
particular ethnic group
According to Hecht and Choi (2012, identity is based on
social categorization and shared group
memberships
- Societal norms and practices are internalized in the form of
social identities based on social categories
– constructed
and conveyed in discourse,
predominantly in narratives of
national culture
national identity
is socially
constructed and “conceived in
language, rather than blood”
national identity
How race, class, gender, sexuality,
the body, and nation, among other
vectors of difference, come
together simultaneously to
produce social identities and
experiences in the social world,
from privilege to oppression.
intersectionality
Based on Benedict Anderson’s famous definition of nations as “imagined
communities,” Wodak et al. posit that national identity is
socially
constructed and “conceived in
language, rather than blood.”
the discursive process whereby
people are located in conversations
as observably and subjectively
coherent participants in jointly
produced storylines
positioning
participants position themselves or
are positioned in different
conversational locations according
to changes in storylines
positioning
y is an intersubjective construction emerging from
overlapping and complementary relationships characterized by,
but not exclusive to, similarity and difference, genuineness and
artifice, and authority and deligitimacy. This perspective in
turn should enable us to give space for others to negotiate their
identities as we negotiate ours
