This book draws on Lacanian psychoanalysis and Lacanian social theorists to investigate and rework the predominant concepts in the social identity framework. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSocial Identity in Question\u003c\/em\u003e begins by reviewing the ways in which the social identity tradition has previously been critiqued by social psychologists who view human relations as conditioned by historical context, culture and language. The author offers an alternative perspective, based upon psychoanalytic notions of subjectivity. The chapters go on to develop these discussions, and they cover topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eself-categorisation theory \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egroup attachment and conformity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe minimal group paradigm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eintergroup conflict, social change and resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter seeks to disrupt the image of the subject as rational and unitary, and to question whether human relations are predictable. It is a book which will be of great interest to lecturers, researchers, and students in critical psychology, social psychology, social sciences and cultural studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Parisa Dashtipour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848720807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848720800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Parisa Dashtipour","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623322267903,"sku":"9781848720800","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-identity-in-question-parisa-dashtipour-9781848720800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
