Identity in social constructionism: A review

The terms personality, identity, self or person and many others, are used in the literature in different ways. Sometimes the term implies the personality of the self and the person (Leary, 2004), and sometimes the identity (Harre, 2001). An important source of terminological confusion in the study of self and identity lies in a variety of different perspectives in the social sciences. The subject of this paper is to present the concept of identity in social constructionist paradigm. The paper focuses on works of social psychologist Kenneth Gergen (Gergen, 1991; Gergen, 2002; Gergen, 2009), Rom Harre (Harre, 2001, Harre, 2004; Harre &amp; Tisaw, 2005) and John Shotter (Shotter, 1989; Shotter, 1997) whose speaking of the fragmented nature of identity. The similarities and differences between these approaches are shown. In conclusion, theoretical, methodological and political implications of adopting a new understanding of identity are reconsidered.

INTERRUPTED BODY NARRATIVE

This article traces a personal trauma that occurred suddenly, interrupting an academic'ssuccessful career, body narrative and self concept. It applies Adler and Adler's(1989) concept of "glorified self" to the identity dilemmas that sudden disruption the previously taken for granted, operating body brings.The author argues that the "Cartesian" view of the self as a thinking, reasoning, consciously choosing entity is challenged by sudden illness in ways which demand a restorying of the selfand identity.
