This paper aims to show how identity can be of importance to issues relating to development. More specifically, it deals with how the Kosovar Albanians perception of their collective identity have affected Kosovo’s economic development. The study draws primarily from the theories of Identity Economics and Orientalism and presents a hypothesis which is then tested empirically through the analysis of the in-depth interviews and participant observation carried out in Kosovo. The results show that Kosovar Albanians have, to a degree, internalized the Orientalist discourse, which often portrayed them in racist terms as the ’other’, in their view of their collective identity and that this has had a negative effect on how they perceive their potential in the global economic system, which in turn has undermined the country’s economic development. Thus, identity seems to be of significance when it comes to issues relating to development.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The aim of the present research is to advance a general predictive model of the social psychological processes underlying collective action in contexts where collective action is met with significant repression by the authorities. The model integrates the recent advancements in the collective action literature and examines the unique predictive role of anger and fear (emotional pathway), political, identity consolidation and participative efficacies (instrumental pathway), politicised identification (identity pathway) as well as moral obligation, over and above past participation. Moreover, the research investigates how perceived risk, due to government sanctions, shapes these antecedents and the willingness to engage in collective action. Five survey studies (Studies 1 to 5) test this model in various repressive contexts (i.e., Egypt, Hong Kong, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey). In addition, one experimental study (Study 6) examines the causal relation between perceived risk and (a) the antecedents of collective action and (b) the action intentions in a British sample. The results confirm the intensifying role of perceived risk, whereby it indirectly spurs further resistance through shaping the antecedents of collective action. The results also suggest that protesters are intrinsically motivated to engage in collective action when placed under risk. Specifically, although not motivated by political efficacy, protesters are strategic as they are motivated by the likelihood to consolidate the identity of their protest movement and the likelihood of their own participation to incrementally contribute to achieving the desired goals. Moreover, they are emotional, politicised and dutiful as their outrage towards how the authorities treat the protesters, their identification with their protest movement, as well as their sense of moral responsibility encourage them to take action despite the risks.

Using the analytical tool frame resonance, this research empirically assesses the alignment of personal and collective identities within the context of the Deaf Culture Movement (DCM) in the United States. Though social movement researchers assume that identities, culture, beliefs, and values are developments of interactional processes, the current literature remains considerably one sided in its emphasis on this meaning work on the part of elite social movement organizers (Benford 1997). Thus, this research takes for granted the variability of how collective identities and ideologies are understood, adopted, and resonate at the micro level. Through routine observation of various DCM activities and in-depth interviews with deaf who regularly participate within DCM activities, this research examines their process of adopting, modifying, or rejecting the DCM identity. In addition to alignment, the assessment of personal identity narratives also reveals unique and familiar passing and accounting strategies as respondents in order to avoid or repair contentious interactions. This research adds to current social movement literature including but not limited to framing processes, resonance, collective identity, identity correspondence, and interpretative work by members on the "fringes" of social movement activity. Further, this research also contributes to current Deaf studies literature and integrates these insights into mainstream sociological literature.

Why do some citizens of the European Union feel indeed European and
others do not? Although the officials of the European Union introduced many
symbols and discourses of unity, empirical studies show that the development of a
sense of belonging at the popular level is slow. This dissertation, by drawing upon
the established social identity theories, takes the investigation back to basics. It
develops a model consisting of the basic premises of the identity theories as well as
factors deriving from national and individual contexts that condition individual
experiences relating to the aforementioned premises. Rather than developing new
theories, this work's contribution to the study of European identity is that the study
presents as complete a model as possible based on the existing theoretical
frameworks as a cross-sectional analysis. Doing so, it unifies the disconnected
literature on the issue within a consistent theoretical logic and cross-validates the
patterns found in 15 countries through a large N multivariate analysis based on the
Eurobarometer 2000. Results yield that social identity theories are confirmed in the
case of European identity except for external demarcation principle.

This thesis examines contemporary constructions of collective indigenous identity. It specifically focuses on the offline and online interactions among the members of Bibaknets, an online community for indigenous peoples from the highlands of the Cordillera Region, Philippines. The study explores the relational and positional nature of collective indigenous identity as Cordillerans attempt to resolve the tensions between their experiences of marginalisation and their goal for empowerment. Drawing upon Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality, the thesis critically analyses the processes of Cordilleran collective identity construction which are inscribed in power relations not only between highlanders and the dominant population but also among themselves. On the one hand, members are motivated to join and participate in Bibaknets discussions as a forum for Cordillerans. On the other hand, such participation is constrained by some members who direct the discussions and consequently define the membership of the forum.

This study examines collective identity, a concept that is used in social movement theory to understand why people are motivated to participate in social movements and social movement groups. Collective identity is a social-psychological process that links the individual to the group through a series of group interactions that revolve around social movement activity. This is a qualitative study that examines collective identity in an online social movement group and an offline social movement group. Reports from the two groups are compared to see what variation exists between these two different groups. This research is one of the first examinations of collective identity outside of conventional face-to-face group settings. The research presented in this thesis demonstrates the difficulty a social movement group that exists online might have in generating a collective identity because of an absence of face-to-face interaction.Master of Science

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Au cœur des préoccupations contemporaines dans les sociétés occidentales et orientales, la question identitaire est l'axe général qui nous a permis d'interroger le cinéma tunisien et autour duquel nous avons entrepris nos différentes analyses. En quoi la question d'identité est-elle le fil conducteur et le point commun dans la plupart des films tunisiens ? Comment peut-on penser la question identitaire dans un cinéma national ? Quel est le rapport entre cinéma, mémoire et Histoire ? Comment l'identité est-elle représentée dans un rapport à l'altérité ? Et quelle place a l'identité personnelle au sein d'une société collective ? Pour répondre à toutes ces questions et étudier les films du corpus en rapport avec ce thème, nous avons distingué trois grands axes distincts qui nous semblent essentiels et corrélés. Le premier axe est la collectivité, car un cinéma national interroge la mémoire et les rapports à l'identité culturelle et les mythes. L'axe de l'altérité s'impose dans la deuxième partie de par son rapport dialectique à l'identité. L'une ne peut exister sans l'autre et l'identité ne peut être pensée sans référence à l'altérité. Enfin et en dernière partie de cette recherche, c'est l'identité personnelle qui sera le thème général car dans la Tunisie moderne, le « moi-je » est en perpétuelle recherche d'une libération du poids de la communauté qui jouit encore d'un pouvoir pesant sur l'individu. À travers un corpus filmique diversifié, nous avons essayé de détisser les liens entre les films et une culture nationale afin d'en dégager une constante qui expliquerait une nation et ses films. Une dimension cachée, celle de l'identitéAt the heart of contemporary concerns in Western and Eastern societies, the question of identity is the general axis that allowed us to question Tunisian cinema and around which we undertook the various analyzes. Why is the question of identity the common thread in most Tunisian films? How can we think about identity in a national cinema? What is the relationship between cinema, memory and history? How is identity represented in a relationship to otherness? And what place has self-identity within a collective society? To answer all these questions and to study the various retained films, three main distinct axes have been highlighted which seem to us crucial and correlated. The first axis is the community, because a national cinema questions the memory and the attitudes to cultural identity and myths. The second axis is otherness because of the dialectic of identity and otherness. One can neither exist nor be thought without the other. Finally, the last axis is the personal identity as in modem Tunisia. the "l" is in constant search of a deliverance from the community power. Through various films, we tried to unravel the links between films and a national culture to highlight a constant that would explain the nation and its films. A hidden dimension, that of identity

Previously, social movement theory has focused on constructs of identity, such as race/ethnicity, gender and sexual preference, for collective identity construction. Prochansky (1983:59) introduces the concept of place identity, situating it along with the other components of identity, such as the ones mentioned above. In addition, literature on Appalachia has shown land to be an important construct of Appalachian peoples identity. This paper analyzes, through content analysis, the collective identities of writers who wrote letters to the U.S. Forest Service in opposition to a proposed AEP power line. This power line was to run through lands in Appalachia, such as various private properties, the Jefferson and George Washington National Forests, and across the New River. Collective identities based on place-identity, specifically including land, were the main target of analysis, due to the importance of land for Appalachian people. This analysis suggests that land, as a type of place identity, does serve as a basis for collective identity.Master of Science

We analyze the memory of collective events in Peru and its relationship with Peruviannational identity in a middle-class sample from Lima (N = 81). Peruvian collective self- esteem and two dimensions of the Peruvian self-concept (Peruvians as proactive-capable and negative image of Peruvians) are related moderately to valence of historic characters remembered. Nevertheless, valence of remembered historical events was not associated to Peruvian national identity. Results also suggest that characters and events from 20th century comprise the majority of remembered instances, and 20th century instances are worse evaluated than characters and events from previous periods of Peruvian history. Results confirm a recency bias and a tendency to make more positive meaning attributions to distant eventsand characters than those made to more recent events.Se analizan las relaciones entre la memoria de hechos colectivos en el Perú y la constitución de la identidad nacional peruana en 81 habitantes de clase media de Lima Metropolitana. La valencia positiva del recuerdo colectivo de personajes históricos, más no el de eventos, se asocia moderadamente a la autoestima colectiva y a dos dimensiones del autoconcepto colectivo (peruanos proactivos-capaces e imagen negativa de los peruanos). Se encontró que personajes y eventos del siglo XX conforman el porcentaje mayoritario de recuerdos colectivos, y en promedio personajes y eventos del siglo XX son peor evaluados que personajes y eventos previos a este siglo. Esto confirma la presencia de un sesgo de recencia y la tendencia a atribuir un significado más positivo a personajes y hechos que se recuerdan a largo plazo en contraposición con aquellos más recientes.

Population genetics studies, coupling genealogical and genetic information, are being launched in many places around the world. Examples include commercial projects, scientific inquiries into the determinants of disease, efforts to better understand healthcare needs, and attempts to trace the histories of groups. Two such studies have been launched in Iceland and Quebec. One of the motives for the creation of and participation in these projects is a personal interest in learning about one's genetic lineage and a collective pride in a putative national genetic identity. In this thesis I will be examining how new genetic information has been drawn into claims of national identity and how genetic technologies have been used to create imagined genetically homogenous communities.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
At a peripheral glance the collective action of a social movement group creates a perception of rational and homogenous internal group identity. This fa??ade has led some social movement theorists to take for granted the internal cohesiveness of the groups they are studying. Yet this emphasis on the rationality and structure of collective action over-simplifies the complex and dynamic interactions that occur in the construction of individual and collective identities. Accordingly, the constructivist New Social Movement theoretical paradigm actively eschews these misleading assumptions, instead granting primacy to the study of the reflexive, complex and dynamic interactions that occur in the construction of individual and collective identities. By employing the tools provided by New Social Movement theory my study unravels one such under-researched identity, namely the diverse and multifaceted ??eco-spiritual?? identity. The rich narratives of actors who consider themselves spiritual and are environmental activists are analysed through a case study of the Wilderness Acton Group, a collective within The Wilderness Society, Sydney. Analysis of the fieldwork data informs a theoretical and empirical understanding of social movements with regard to the negotiation and construction of political goals; trajectory and rejuvenation; individual movement motivation and participation; ongoing construction of group identity and solidarity; emotional commitment; action event selection; and group rituals, activism and practices

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This dissertation investigates how collective identity groups frame their rights claims in the public sphere by exploring what types of framing processes specific groups of activists adopt. My empirical focus is on how certain social movements in Turkey has framed their rights claims in the restrictive nature of the public sphere. What types of frames characterize these movements? This research explores three empirical case studies from Turkey - looking at an Islamic, a women’s rights and an LGBT organization. The main empirical finding of the dissertation is all three organizations endorse a liberal/universalistic frame to be accepted in the Turkish public sphere. The thesis of this dissertation is based on the analysis of the implications, consequences, and tensions that come out of this finding for democratic theory, theorizing Turkey, and social movements. In my analysis, I highlight a paradox in making rights-claims in Turkey. Collective identity groups demand group rights, but they frame these demands in terms of universal human rights language. The reason for the emergence of such paradox – I argue- is because groups want to fit in by adopting the universal language of rights used by the state in its Constitution and laws. Rights-based language could be necessary for certain groups as it is located “within the accepted discursive field resonating with the values of a secular society” (Barras 2009). Using macroframes, such as ‘human rights’, enable groups to appeal to international organizations, as well. This ‘postnational’ approach to rights-claiming can be part of the groups’ mandate to appeal to universal human rights beyond the borders of state sovereignty (Soysal 1998). The implication of this analysis is that social groups’ acts of citizenship conform to dominant frameworks of claims-making. This, in turn, limits their ways of claims-making. For instance, they do not make multicultural claims or challenge the universal citizenship of the liberal state. While each civil society organization under study challenges the secular, the patriachal and the homophobic nature of Turkish citizenship, they conform to the definition of Turkish citizenship which is liberal, universal and individualistic. The dissertation uses the qualitative case study method based on in-depth interviews with the members of the groups.

This thesis reconsiders Maurice Halbwachs' theory of collective memory in terms of rhetoric. My purpose is to examine specifically how fading generations conform the present to the past as they fight to maintain and defend their collective identities. Although rhetoric and memory studies have often focused on the complex matters of national collectives, Halbwachs was also concerned with the individual and his or her interaction among those groups that matter in everyday living and memory's role in generational shifts that slowly transform culture. Halbwachs' theory helps determine exactly how attempts at conflict resolution are sometimes guarded defenses against threats to one's personal and collective identity. In contrast to the generally accepted use of memory as selectively adapting the past for present purposes, this protection of identity may require the present to remain faithful to one's past. To examine how memory and rhetoric are complementary, I draw a parallel between Maurice Halbwachs' collective memory theory and Jim Corder's notion of individual identity as historical narrative. Then, in further retracing Kenneth Burke's influence on Corder's work, I also compare Halbwachs' social constructionist view of memory to Burke's theories of symbolicity and identification. Finally, I apply these theories to the recent 2012 debate in Ybor City, Florida over the Spanish spelling of Seventh Avenue in which passing generations struggle to preserve their identity and sense of belonging in the changing social milieu. In demonstrating how people seek a more permanent sense of identity articulated through memory, this debate offers an alternative to the theory of identity as a rhetorical performance negotiated in the present.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Les travaux de thèse portent sur les processus identitaires mis en œuvre à l'aune de l'expansion du réseau internet. En vue de comprendre les caractéristiques des collectifs qui interagissent en ligne, l'auteur propose une approche qui part d'un groupe anthropologiquement constitué. Il s'appuie sur le postulat que ces interactions en ligne sont indissociables des contextes anthropologiques et socio-médiatiques qui les ont produites. Il définit le groupe socioculturel étudié, les Kabyles comme minorité berbère, déterritorialisée revendiquant la reconnaissance de son identité « culturelle » et linguistique. L'auteur montre que les Kabyles constituent un terrain de recherche pertinent pour observer les dynamiques entre identités et réseaux sociotechniques. Ce travail s'appuie sur une approche empirique qui comprend un dispositif de recueil de données basé sur la triangulation méthodologique (Observation participante, analyse de corpus, enquête qualitative) et une démarche compréhensive présentant un modèle explicatif/interprétatif qui tient compte de la relation qu'entretient le groupe avec le pouvoir, la mémoire et le territoire. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent que l'appropriation d'internet entraîne une pluralisation des références identitaires et une transformation des représentations (valorisation pour le groupe). Ces processus se traduisent par la mise en œuvre de nouvelles pratiques médiatiques et identitaires qui transcendent les contraintes spatio-temporellesThis dissertation focuses on identifying processes implemented with the expansion of the Internet. In order to understand the characteristics of groups interacting online, the author proposes an approach using a group that is anthropologically constituted. This approach is based on the hypothesis that these online interactions cannot be separated from the media, social and anthropological contexts that caused them to take place. The author defines the socio-cultural group in his study, the Kabyles, as a deterritorialized Berber minority claiming the recognition of their cultural and linguistic identity; he shows that the Kabyles' case constitutes a relevant field of research to observe the dynamics between group identities and socio-technological networks. An empirical approach was used, which includes the method of triangulation for collecting data (field observation, corpus analysis, qualitative investigation) and a comprehensive approach to produce a model that is explanatory and interpretative of the group's relationship with authority, memory and territory. The author shows that ownership of the Internet leads to a pluralisation of identity references and a transformation of representations (more value for the group). These processes bring about the implementation of new media and identity practices that transcend constraints in both time and space, and they promote the manifestation of groups' will to independently set up a space for expression and collective action, allowing the emergence and the spread of a new politics of identity

The intention of this paper has been to look at how pan-African ideas about a common identity hav e been expressed and developed on the African continent since the period of decolonisation in the 1960s. By using social constructivist identity-theory I have looked at how identity can be constructed by the use of myths, stories, symbols and ‘othering’. Thereafter I used these ideas when analysing different official documents from pan-African movements such as the creation of the AU and its constitutive act to identify what tools that were used to construct a common African identity. Thereby I was also to see if there had been any change in how pan-African ideas have expressed African identity over time.

Déterminants symboliques et matériels du jugement moral dans le conflit intergroupeLes causes du conflit intergroupe sont habituellement envisagées selon deux axes. Selon le premier axe, matériel, le conflit serait causé par une incompatibilité entre les groupes dans leur poursuite d’intérêts liés à des ressources (Sherif & Sherif, 1969 ;Bobo, 1988). Selon une seconde approche, symbolique, le conflit naîtrait de préoccupations identitaires (Tajfel & Turner, 1986). Cette dissertation évalue l’hypothèse selon laquelle ces deux axes sont tous deux sous-tendus par une dimension morale. En effet, les préoccupations matérielles et identitaires influenceraient le jugement moral des membres de l’exogroupe et des membres de l’endogroupe. Ce jugement, à son tour, déterminerait les attitudes intergroupes (Leach, Ellemers, & Barreto, 2007 ;Ginger-Sorolla, 2012).
Nous mettons cette hypothèse générale à l’épreuve à travers six études. Les deux premières études investiguent l’influence des principes moraux et des émotions morales sur les attitudes intergroupes dans le cadre du conflit linguistique belge. Ce conflit actuel, opposant Flamands et Francophones, comprend des composantes tant matérielles que symboliques. Ensuite, nous proposons une analyse spécifique des jugements moraux intervenant dans le cadre de conflits essentiellement symboliques. À travers deux études, nous étudions le lien entre identité sociale et jugement moral. La première identifie les déterminants des prises de positions, par des personnes non impliquées dans le conflit israélo-palestinien, en faveur de l’une ou l’autre des deux parties. La seconde étudie la dimension morale des représentations, émotions et attitudes concernant la collaboration en Belgique durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Enfin, les deux dernières études investiguent les jugements moraux intergroupes liés à la dimension matérielle du conflit. À travers deux études expérimentales, l’une en situation réelle, l’autre basée sur des scénarios fictifs, nous étudions dans quelle mesure une répartition (égale ou inégale) de ressources peut influencer les jugements moraux, et déterminer, à travers ceux-ci, les attitudes envers les groupes concernés.
Pour conclure, nous discutons de la notion même de jugement moral appliquée aux relations intergroupes, en proposant une modélisation hiérarchisée des notions morales le sous-tendant.

This interpretive consumer research study interrogates the idea that people turn to consumption as a means of self-determination. Proceeding from the understanding that the consumer enacts the development of their identity within the marketplace, it takes as its subject those in transition. Its context is a support group community of people brought together by an illness - multiple myeloma. Here, through a phenomenological approach designed to explore the lived experience of illness, the thesis discovers community to be the enabling context for the consumer’s negotiation of both selfhood and the market. Conclusions are drawn about the incremental, complex nature of identity work, and the collective practices that empower it. It is found that the marketplace requires significant mediation, but that the social resources of the community can equip the consumer to navigate its challenges. This transformation is manifested in the newly-diagnosed patient’s journey from dislocation and passivity to the empowered status of ‘skilled consumer’. The importance of the often-overlooked emotional texture of exchange within consumption communities is highlighted. In conclusion, it is offered that this study extends the concept of communities of practice into the field of consumption.

This thesis is an exploration on generative collective order as establishing a physical built framework for individual identity. The emphasis on the collective stems from the premise that while incremental building may be integrative at the level of the dwelling, it may not be so at the urban level. This study proposes an alternative approach to the meeting of the scales in which the relative values and freedoms at th e various levels can be maintained under conditions of transformation. A series of observations and analysis of the vernacular settlement La Pastora are done to understand the principles present at several scales in a context where variety follows rules that are legible and reproducible. The site is analyzed with respect to its immediate context. The context is representative of three systems based on approaches to building at the urban and dwelling levels. The design for the site develops a built framework that maintains the transferable principles present in the context generating variations and aggregations that are associative to individual identity.

Foster, Susan. "The Relationship between Professional Identity and Collective Self- esteem in School Counselors". ScholarWorks@UNO, 2010. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1269.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
All bona fide professions have affiliated professional organizations, ethical standards or a code of ethics, and an accrediting and sanctioning body that deals with preparation, credentialing, and licensure, and pride in one's profession (Gale & Austin, 2003; Remley & Herlihy, 2010). As school counseling continues to evolve, school counselors have struggled to define and maintain their role. This may be due, in part, to the social desirability an individual has to belong to dominant group in the school setting (Tajfel, 1986). School counselors may draw esteem from their professional membership. This concept, called collective self-esteem, denotes those aspects of identity that are related to membership in social groups and the respective value that one places on one's membership (Luhtanen & Crocker, 1992). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between collective self-esteem and professional identity. The findings of this study indicated that collective self-esteem was relatively stable and remained moderately high across several demographic variables related to professional identity. Collective self-esteem remained relatively consistent across level of practice, professional background, years of total experience and years of experience at the current school, and area of practice. Further, collective self-esteem remained moderately high for those who were affiliated with a counseling organization and those who were not. Results also suggested that collective self-esteem is constant regardless of variations in credentialing, chosen code of ethics, role definition (educator first or counselor first), and professional pride. Results indicated that collective self-esteem remained moderately high across several demographic areas and variables related to professional identity. Further, a significant positive correlation was found between pride in the profession and collective self-esteem was shown. Additionally, a small, significant negative correlation was garnered between those participants who viewed themselves as a counselor first and held an LPC or equivalent. Further, a significant relationship was found between those participants who defined their role as a counselor first and chose the NBCC Code of Ethics as their primary code of ethics and those participants who held the counselor first position and chose the ASCA Ethical Code as their primary code of ethics.

The Chilean urban poor led crucial mobilisation throughout most of the 20th century. Scholars argue that different factors explain the demobilisation of that sector during the democratic transition (the early 1990s). Through an ethnographic comparative approach, this thesis compares two neighbourhoods. Their similitudes cannot explain why while one of them sustained contentious collective action in time, the other became demobilised as most other neighbourhoods. As in many other studies, what explains the survival of contentious collective action is a mobilisational identity. This research moves beyond those accounts to explain why mobilisational citizenship emerges in some communities and not in others. The interaction between four dimensions explains mobilisational citizenship: agentic memory, belonging, boundaries, and decentralised leadership. The sustainability of mobilisational citizenship depends on grassroots activists' capacity to transmit collective identity as political capital. The Chilean case shows that autonomy is crucial for mobilisational citizenship. In cases in which political parties establish networks of loyalty and clientelism promoting the monopoly of political capital at the grassroots level, communities cannot develop and sustain a mobilisational identity.

The argument contained in this paper is that these movements are the emergent outcome of complex processes of interaction, encounter and exchange facilitated and mediated by new technologies of mobility and communication and they suggest the emergence of a post-representational cultural politics qualitatively different from the identity based social movements of the past.

This study is an analysis of musical lyrics which express oppression and discrimination of the African American community and encourage potential action for individuals to make a claim on their rights. This analysis will be done methodologically as a content analysis. Song texts are examined in the context of oppression and discrimination and how they relate to social movements. This study will examine different social movements occurring during a timeline stretching from the era of slavery to present day, and how music gives frame to collective identities as well as potential action. The material consisting of song lyrics will be theoretically approached from different sociological and musicological perspectives. This study aims to examine what interpretative frame for social change is offered by music. Conclusively, this study will show that music functions as an informative tool which can spread awareness and encourage people to pressure authorities and make a claim on their Human Rights.

This dissertation is a three-pronged study examining American themes, celebrity, and collective identity associated with the television program American Idol. The study includes discourse analyses of the first seven seasons of the program, of the season seven official American Idol message boards, and of the 2002 and 2008 show press coverage. The American themes included a rags-to-riches narrative, archetypes, and celebrity. The discourse-formed archetypes indicate which archetypes people of varied races may inhabit, who may be sexual, and what kinds of sexuality are permitted. On the show emotional exhibitions, archetypal resonance, and talent create a seemingly authentic celebrity while discourse positioning confirms this celebrity. The show also fostered a complication-free national American collective identity through the show discourse, while the online message boards facilitated the formation of two types of collective identities: a large group of American Idol fans and smaller contestant-affiliated fan groups. Finally, the press coverage study found two overtones present in the 2002 coverage, derision and awe, which were absent in the 2008 coverage. The primary reasons for this absence may be reluctance to criticize an immensely popular show and that the American Idol success was no longer surprising by 2008. By 2008, American Idol was so ingrained within American culture that to deride it was to critique America itself. In sum, the findings were that American Idol presents an ideal version of American culture, where gender, race, and class issues are non-existent, power is shared democratically, the American national identity is fair, generous, familial, and celebrity and success are easily attainable. This idealization of contemporary American culture functions to sustain the current status quo of economic and cultural standards.

This thesis analyses the terms in which collective identity and regional institutions can explain state action towards the unfolding of regionalism in the Andean Community (AC). This analysis develops a constructivist approach that assesses constitutive and casual effects of ideas in order to provide explanations. For the assessment and distinction of these effects, the thesis proposes an interpretive method that consists of focusing on transitive verbs and metaphors denoting causation that state officials and regional bureaucrats use to refer to the role of ideas in orienting state action. The analysis of the explanatory role of collective identity and regional institutions is carried out in three case studies of the AC, namely, Peru remaining an AC member while being reluctant to adopt the Andean Free Trade Zone (FTZ) and the Common External Tariff (CET); collective negotiations of a free trade agreement between the AC and the European Union; and the adoption of the Integrated Plan for Social Development (PIDS). The thesis shows that constitutive and causal effects of ideas are possible to observe in the three case studies of the AC. By observing these effects, the thesis provides a better understanding of a relationship of mutual constitution and causation between collective identity and regional institutions in the AC, and suggests a number of issues that may explain the AC’s maintenance despite its little achievements and low material benefits it provides to member states. The thesis also makes a significant contribution to constructivist theorising inasmuch as it provides a method to operationalise constructivism’s aim of providing explanations based on the role of ideas. To the study of the AC, this thesis represents a major contribution inasmuch as it is the first work that analyses the views of some of the main performers of state action and of the AC as a regional organisation, which accounts for the closest approach to how member states act in the AC.

This thesis explores a small number of TEFL teachers’ collective responses to an extended change process in their Mexican university context from 1989-2003. The nature of the emergent knowledge arising from this inquiry hinges on the analysis and interpretation by the researcher who is also a complete participant in this educational context of her informants’ perceptions from their retrospection, and a reconstruction of the past, in present time. The methodology I adopted broadly follows interpretative qualitative research principles, including aspects of life history inquiry. The data generation process employed to explore our perceptions of ourselves, as well as our working context, before and during the 1990s, as we ourselves narrate them, comprised of: ‘conversations with a purpose’, critical incident and repertory grid interviews, as well as the concurrent analysis of the data, based on aspects of Grounded Theory. As a result, numerous categories and concepts emerged. These not only helped me to discover the issues that were both instrumental and influential regarding our positive receptivity to change, but also how being involved in a change process changed us, not only as individuals, but also as a culture. Based on these findings that have led to my deeper understanding of the nature of educational change, I conclude this thesis by positing that instead of adopting a mechanistic paradigm for viewing change, it is necessary, and more useful, to view it through the lens of complexity theory. Finally, this thesis ends by examining the implications that this position and the findings have for change policy makers, managers and change leaders, as well as suggestions for future research.

Present dissertation aims to achieve three related objectives. First, it is aimed at investigating the theoretical view of Reicher and Hopkins (2001) that some people called &lsquoidentity entrepreneurs&rsquo
actively try to re-define the limits and the contents of the social categories. For this purpose social political milieu of Northern Cyprus is chosen as it is intended to achieve the ingroup members&rsquo
support by portraying national/ethnic identity constructions of National Unity Party, which acknowledges supporting the independence of Turkish Republic of North Cyprus and the Republican Turkish Party, which acknowledges supporting the unification of Cyprus. In accordance with the first objective, the official documents of two parties were analyzed by Structural Analysis of Group Arguments (SAGA) technique. The results confirm that the definitions of Northern Cypriots, the Cyprus Problem, the solutions of the problem, and collective threats and interests were constructed by these parties in the service of their own political projects. Second study purposes to explore the identity constructions of lay Northern Cypriots in order to investigate the relationship between political and lay constructions. By the second objective 19 Turkish Cypriots who were not involved in politics actively (classified as anti and pro-integrationists iv based on their votes at the Referenda of Annan Plan) were interviewed. The results indicate that the lay Northern Cypriots narrated three identities when defining themselves as &lsquo
Turkish&rsquo
, &lsquo
Turkish Cypriots&rsquo
and &lsquo
Cypriots&rsquo
, each of which implicated different constructions of the Cyprus problem, its possible solutions, and perceptions of collective threats and interests. All the constructions were made in accordance with their identity definitions and their votes at the referenda. The analysis also shows that the political and lay constructions are convergent at a great extent. Lastly, present work aims at investigating the relationship between national/ethnic identities and collective projects, quantitatively. Regarding the third objective a questionnaire study was conducted in North Cyprus, with 206 participants. The data confirmed the model, which proposed that social identities (Turkish, Turkish Cypriots and Cypriots) influenced attitudes towards unification through perceived collective interests and threats.

La dimension collective du travail enseignant constitue aujourd’hui un enjeu prégnant des réformes éducatives. Cette recherche ethnographique étudie les liens entre développement et changement. Nous envisageons le travail collectif des enseignants sous l’angle des interactions entre développement professionnel et changement institutionnel. Reprenant à notre compte l’hypothèse de l’émergence du collectif d’enseignants comme un nouvel acteur des systèmes éducatifs, nous lui attribuons la capacité de se développer professionnellement au contact de réformes. En appui sur les travaux existants d’une part sur le développement professionnel et d’autre part sur le travail collectif des enseignants, nous élaborons un modèle complexe de développement professionnel collectif (DPC) que nous soumettons au terrain dans le cadre de l’implantation des dispositifs d’individualisation dans les lycées agricoles publics français. Les résultats de ce travail montrent que le processus de DPC dépend de la nature du changement (forme, niveau, intensité), du contexte professionnel, organisationnel et institutionnel, et des caractéristiques (savoirs et identité professionnels) des membres du collectif. En effet, un texte particulièrement flou, prescrivant une nouvelle forme d’intervention auprès des élèves (accompagnement versus enseignement, individu versus groupe), appelle la construction de stratégies visant une mise en œuvre localement adaptée, sur la base de savoirs d’expérience et de savoirs nouveaux et, « acceptables » sur le plan de l’identité professionnelle. Ainsi, les quatre groupes enquêtés ont-ils réagi différemment face au changement, amendant par là même le modèle proposéNowadays, the collective dimension of teaching constitutes an important issue of the educative reforms. This ethnographic study deals with the links between development and change. We consider the teachers’ collective work as a result of interactions between professional development and institutional change. Referring to the hypothesis of the emergence of teachers’ collectives as new actors in the educative systems, we attribute to them the capacity to develop themselves professionally through the contact with reforms. Leaning on the research works about professional development on one hand, and about the teachers’ collective work, on the other hand, we build a complex model of collective professional development (CPD) that we submit to the fieldwork in the framework of the implementation of individualization devices in the French public agricultural colleges. The results of this work show that the process of CPD depends on the nature of the change (form, level, intensity), on the professional, organizational and institutional situation and on the characteristics (knowledge and identity) of the members of the collective. Indeed, an especially unclear text prescribing new forms of intervention to the pupils (accompanying versus teaching, individual versus group) requires the construction of strategies for a local and adapted implementation. These strategies are built on the basis of experiential and new knowledge and must be “admissible” at the professional identity. Thus, the four groups we studied had different reactions faced with the change, amending thereby the model which is proposed

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Notre travail propose une approche sociologique du processus de recomposition identitaire au Brésil à l'époque Lula. Nous considérons que cette période entraine une dynamique reconstructive du passé esclavagiste déterminée par de nouvelles conditions d'émergence des souvenirs. Cela conduit à la construction d'un nouveau « cadre » mémoriel, d'une substitution de l'idée d'un Brésil métissé à la brésilienne, dont l'assimilation culturelle des afro-descendants est le pilier, par l'idée d'un Brésil fait d‘une diversité ethnique. La question centrale à laquelle nous tenterons d'apporter quelques éléments de réponse à travers cette étude est la suivante : quels sont les impacts de la politique d'Actions Affirmatives sur les transformations mémorielles et identitaires produites au Brésil pendant cette époque Lula ? Afin de mieux saisir notre objet d'étude et tester nos hypothèses, nous avons choisi d'étudier quatre champs d'analyse : l'analyse de l'historiographie brésilienne de l'esclavage ; l'analyse de la production de nouveaux discours sur le passé visible, pendant les années Lula, dans deux journaux brésiliens ; les entretiens avec des acteurs sociaux, considérés ici comme « architectes » des Actions Affirmatives brésiliennes ; et pour finir, des questionnaires adressés aux étudiants cotistas de l'enseignement supérieur.En conformité avec la problématique posée dans notre recherche, nous considérons que trois thèses peuvent être soutenus. D'abord, des éléments d'une dynamique interne, représentée par la lutte des Mouvements Noirs du pays, et externe, fortement poussée par les demandes de la globalisation, ont contribué à ce que le passé esclavagiste devienne l'objet de l'action publique. Puis, la mémoire du passé esclavagiste brésilien fait l'objet d'une importante évolution depuis l'adoption des politiques d'Actions Affirmatives dans le pays. Ces politiques promeuvent un nouvel encadrement social des processus mémoriels à partir de l'émergence d'une nouvelle signification du passé. Et enfin, les transformations mémorielles opérées à l'époque Lula, influencent, de façon significative, l'identité brésilienne et déterminent la reconnaissance de la diversité ethnique du pays. Au-delà de ce processus, l'appropriation par les Afro-brésiliens d'une identité nationale, nous semble être un catalyseur important de ce processus évolutifOur work proposes a sociological approach of the process of identity reorganization in Brazil during Lula's period. We consider that this era leads a reconstructive dynamics of slave past determined by new conditions of emergence of the memories. This, drives to the construction of a new memory “ frame “, of a substitution of the idea of Brazil crossed in an interbreeding according to the Brazilians, the cultural assimilation of the afro-descendants of which is the very pillar, through the idea of a Brazil made by an ethnic diversity.The main question to which we shall try to bring some elements of answer through this study is the following ones: what are the impacts of the Affermative Actions policy on the memory and identical transformations made up in Brazil during this Lula's time ? In order to seize more easily our object of study and test our hypothesis, we chose to study four fields of analysis : the analysis of the Brazilian historiography of the slavery; the analysis of the production of new perspectives on the visible past, during the years Lula, through two brazilian news-papers; the discussions with social players, considered here as “ architectes actors”, considerated as the Brasilian Affirmative Actions; and to finish, questionnaires sent to cotistas students of the higher Education. Conforming to the problem set down in our research, we consider that three theses can be followed. At first, elements of an internal dynamics represented by the fight of the Black Movements inside the country, and external, strongly pushed by the requests of the globalization, contributed to the fact that the slave past becomes the objet of the public action. Then, the memory of brazilian slave past is the object of an important evolution since the adoption of the policy of Affermative Actions in the country. Those policies promote a new social frame of the memory processes from the emergence of a new signification of the past. And finally, the memory transformations made during Lula's time, influence, in a significant way, the Brazilian identity and determine the recognition of the ethnic diversity of the country. Beyond this process, the appropriation by the Afro-Brazilians of a national identity, seems to us to be an important catalyst of this process

A wealth of research on social life has examined the causes and consequences of social identity. I build on this literature by expanding the study of the concept beyond its current focus on how social identity manifests in the individual to a collective-level understanding of social identity as it manifests in groups. This is achieved by bridging the study of social identity with the study of social networks. In this dissertation, I argue that sharing a social identity that meets certain criteria serves as a type of connection which binds group members together into a collective unit. I refer to these connections as symbolic social network ties. Symbolic social network ties exist in social entities characterized by entitativity, which is the property of a social group that defines it as a coherent social unit—a social object in and of itself. Three criteria are necessary for a set of individuals to possess entitativity: boundedness, membership-based interaction, and the capacity to act and be acted upon as a manifest corporate actor in relation to other (individual and corporate) actors. Entitativity varies by degree across entities due to differences in the extent to which the entity exceeds minimal levels of the criteria defining entitativity. The effects of symbolic social network ties are a consequence of the combined effects of entitativity and social identity. To provide an initial assessment of the effects of symbolic social network ties on social life, in this dissertation I use a two-study approach to examine their impact on cooperative collective action. In Study 1, I use the experimental method to test the effects of symbolic social network ties, and social identity more broadly, on cooperation in generalized exchange. Generalized exchange is a form of collective action that is risky but has a number of benefits for collectivities and their members. I compare effects across three levels of social identity: no social identity, category-based social identity, and entity-based symbolic social network ties. Results strongly support my theoretical argument; entity-based symbolic social network ties have a stronger impact on cooperation than category-based social identity. Indeed, the level of cooperation in the category-based social identity condition is not significantly different from the level of cooperation found in the no social identity control condition. The second study uses survey data to assess whether the causal findings from Study 1 hold in the context of real world entities. In Study 2, I examine the relationship between symbolic social network ties and community involvement in small towns. Community involvement is a contextually specific form of collective action that can be vital to the success of a community. Specifically, I examine how variations in each of the three criteria of entitativity—boundedness, interaction, and corporate actor capacity—relate to residents’ propensity to participate in two forms of community involvement: voluntary participation in community improvement activities and active membership in local organizations. As predicted, I find that boundedness and interaction are positively related to both forms of community involvement; corporate actor capacity, however, was not found to be significantly related to either form of community involvement. Implications of these results and potential directions for future research are discussed.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis consists of a socio-psychological study of Greek European identity within the context of the Greek debt/Eurozone crisis. Drawing insights from Social Representations Theory (SRT) and Social Identity Theory (SIT), it approaches the question of identity in a dual manner, as are presentation and a psychological experience. The motivation of the research is enacted through the questioning of whether economic crises can provoke crises of collective identities. Its contribution is both theoretical and empirical. The thesis argues that although the term ‘identity crisis’ is a frequently used one, especially in conditions of post-modernity, an analytical elucidation of the varied destabilising dynamics behind potential ‘identity crises’ is unclear within existing literature. Furthermore, it is postulated that as useful and enlightening a social psychological approach may be for the study of identities, and although SIT’s focus on identity threats as destabilising for group self-esteem can help us understand identity dynamics, the discipline still lacks a more systematic analytical framework of identity destabilisations. The thesis develops an elaborate typology and conceptualisation of identity destabilisations and operationalises it for the study of Greek European identity through a triangulated single case study research design, combining a variety of data sources, such as historiographical data, media texts, expert and elite interviews, and interviews with non-expert citizens. The typology includes the destabilisations of identity conflict,identity devaluation, identity overvaluation and identity deficit. The results of the study indicate that the public discourse of the debt/Eurozone crisis has been abundant in representations of all such identity destabilisations. The interviews with Greek experts and elites, called in this study ‘ideational leaders’, and with non-expert citizens, designate that the most prevalent forms of identity destabilisation, both at the level of representation and of psychological experience in Greek society are those of identity conflict and identity devaluation. The results show a distinct public preoccupation with ideas, such as national self-reflection and collective responsibility. The representations made by expert and non-expert citizens approximate each other quite closely, while comparisons across the data sources and across time bring to the fore continuities of narratives and identity representations, which are explained within SRT’s assumption of anchoring as a return to previously established knowledge for the comprehension of new phenomena, as well as within the constraints faced by discursive actors in their attempts to construct new realities. It is concluded that a new narrative is necessitated for Greek European identity.
