Description: Grammars of Identity / Alterity by Gerd Baumann, Andre Gingrich Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This collection offers a perspective on the ongoing debates on the construction of self and other in the context of social exclusion by focusing specifically on the seemingly universal processes of identity formation and shows how the exclusion of the "other" can be differentiated according to three modalities. Publisher Description Issues of the construction of Self and Other, normally in the context of social exclusion of those perceived as different, have assumed a new urgency. This collection offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing debates on these questions in the social sciences and the humanities by focusing specifically on one theoretical proposition, namely, that the seemingly universal processes of identity formation and exclusion of the other can be differentiated according to three modalities. All contributors directly engage with rigorous empirical testing and theoretical cross-examination of this proposition. Their results have direct implications not only for a more differentiated understanding of collective identities, but also for a better understanding of extreme collective violence and genocide.
