  • social transformation collective categories and Identity change
    Theory and Society, 2005
    Co-Authors: Jennifer Todd
    Abstract:

    Changes in collective categories of Identity are at the core of social transformation. The causal linkages among Identity change, institutional change, and change in modes of practice are, however, complex. Developing and adapting ideas from Pierre Bourdieu's work, this article shows the coexistence in tension of a plurality of elements within each collective Identity Category. On this basis, it proposes a typology of responses at the level of Identity to socio-political change. This allows an explanation of patterns of Identity change in terms of wider social processes and resource distribution, while remaining open to the sense and complexity of the individual's experience and the moments of intentionality that arise when individuals face choices as to the direction of change. The worth of the model is shown by analysis of modes of Identity change in a society now experiencing radical change in socio-political structures, namely post-1998 Northern Ireland.

  • Identity theory and social Identity theory
    Social Psychology Quarterly, 2000
    Co-Authors: Jan E Stets, Peter Burke
    Abstract:

    In social psychology, we need to establish a general theory of the self which can attend to both macro and micro processes, and which avoids the redundancies of separate theories on different aspects of the self For this purpose, we present core components of Identity theory and social Identity theory and argue that although differences exist between the two theories, they are more differences in emphasis than in kind, and that linking the two theories can establish a more fully integrated view of the self The core components we examine include the different bases of Identity (Category/group or role) in each of the theories, Identity salience and the activation of identities as discussed in the theories, and the cognitive and motivational processes that emerge from identities based on Category/group and on role. By examining the self through the lens of both Identity theory and social Identity theory, we see how, in combination, they can move us toward a general theory of the self In contrast to Hogg and his colleagues (Hogg, Terry, and White 1995), we see substantial similarities and overlap between social Identity theory and Identity theory. We think that this overlap ultimately will cause these theories to be linked in fundamental ways, though we do not think that time has

  • Citizenship, Authorship, and Disability in Cervantes and Scarron
    2020
    Co-Authors: Crapo, Adleen Carlisle
    Abstract:

    Noting the all-too-recent interest of disability scholars in early modern literature, this dissertation seeks to establish a way forward for the study of disability in a period-appropriate way. Through its juxtaposition of disabled authors’ Paul Scarron and Miguel de Cervantes’ paratexts and their treatment of disability in literary texts, it seeks to elucidate a possible relationship between disability and representation. It uses popular lexicographies to trace the diverse and changing vocabulary the two authors employed for different impairments. At the same time, it considers different genres, such as epic and drama, and modes like the burlesque, which were particularly accessible to disabled men of the period. This dissertation provides an account of the differing disabilities of both authors, and how their respective disabilities called into question their national identities. The stakes were high for both. Cervantes had to demonstrate that though the hand was a symbol of Hispanitas, or Spanishness, in losing his he had only become more Spanish. For Scarron, his inflammatory disease, which had left him with a dramatic spinal curvature, meant that he needed to employ the burlesque to demonstrate both his wit (a courtly and French quality) and his natural humour. The authors' disabilities are considered in relation to the organ or functioning which was impacted, as well as its associated symbolism and history. Since early modern people did not collapse all impairments into one Category the way we do today with the term "disabled," their understanding of each impairment and its particular context and history indicates a way forward for contemporary scholars who grapple with today’s all-inclusive Identity Category of "disability."Ph.D
