Abstract

Contemplating the history of identity faces seemingly insurmountable challenges – mostly raising suspicion: from whose perspective and value for whom? This chapter assumes multiple histories of identity and proceeds in three steps. By sifting through how the term identity intersects in contemporary language use with neighboring concepts (such as self, subject/subjectivity, individual/authenticity, and consciousness/conscience), we filter out a core narrative for contemporary identity discourses. Basic to modern identity is the assumption of an interior navigation-bridge from where three kinds of decision-territories are navigated: (i) temporal stability and change; (ii) how to blend in and differentiate from others; and (iii) how to engage as agentive subject or as being subjected to forces in the world. In this narrative, the internal command-bridge is accessible by and to the self using (self-)reflective means. The central part of our contribution subjects this kind of identity narrative to a form of historical interrogation in relation to (i) how it came into being in a particular region (Europe) and at a particular time (the Enlightenment); (ii) which discourses were included and which ones were systemically excluded; and (iii) how it was possible that this identity narrative gained power in everyday sense-making in general and in the discipline of psychology in particular. In a final section, we consider whether there are ways to conceptualize alternative narratives of i…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
