Inhaltsangabe

Practising Identities is a collection of papers about how identities--gender, bodily, racial, ethnic, and national--are practiced in the contemporary world. Identities are actively constructed, chosen, created, and performed by people in their daily lives, and this book focuses on a variety of identity practices, in a range of different settings, from the gym and the piercing studio, to the further education of college and the National Health Service. Drawing on detailed empirical studies and recent social and cultural theory about identity, this book makes an important intervention in current debates about identity, reflexivity, and cultural difference.
