Abstract
Noting that psychologists, sociologists, communication scholars, and philosophers all puzzle over the topic of self-in-context in various ways, Fitzgerald offers Metaphors of Identity (see record 1993-98559-000), an analysis of the topic of identity as an academic metaphor. The chapters each deal with a different context for the positioning of self, ranging from the relevance of scholarship on community-building through cultural analysis to issues of health, social conflict, group membership, and ethnicity. By adopting the view of culture as communicable knowledge, Fitzgerald does stack the cards toward his view of identity, but all the same the approach is important.
