Study Notes
Communication Theory of Identity (CTI)
- Developed by Michael Hecht in the 1980s emphasizing human social nature.
- Identity is shaped through communication, relationships, and interactions; it evolves continually.
Understanding Identity
- Identity represents one's sense of self developed through social interactions.
- It is fluid and multifaceted, not fixed or singular; influenced by others' perceptions.
- Key frames of identity include personal, enacted, relational, and communal.
Four Loci or Frames of Identity
- Personal frame: Involves self-cognition and self-identification based on individual characteristics.
- Enacted frame: Focuses on performance and how an individual expresses themselves in relationships.
- Relational frame: Examines identity's dynamics within relationships with others.
- Communal frame: Concerns collective identity and shared communal images of selfhood.
Extremes of Performance
- Sincerity: Performer believes in the authenticity of their role.
- Cynicism: Performer is aware the performance is an illusion but continues for manipulation.
Collective Identities
- Based on Social Identity Theory; identity involves social categorization, including ethnic, national, and religious identities.
- Group membership internalizes societal norms and contributes to how individuals perceive themselves.
- CTI considers identity as a shared group characteristic, transcending individual experiences.
Theoretical Concepts
- The mask represents roles individuals adopt; the front indicates the expressive tools used for performances.
- Positioning Theory: Examines the power dynamics in social positioning, including rights and duties associated with identity roles.
Personal and Social Representation
- Moscovici’s Theory: Suggests a triangular relationship between Ego, representation, and another subject, demonstrating interdependence in identity formation.
- Social representations offer frameworks for individuals to define themselves and their interactions.
Identity Dynamics
- Identity is contextual, relational, and not static, shaped by social interactions and language.
- Positioning involves negotiating identity within social contexts, emphasizing how individuals view themselves and how they are perceived by others.
Recognition and Moral Orders
- Normative aspects of social representations influence gender roles and identities through rights and duties.
- Recognition and misrecognition affect how individuals establish their legitimacy within a social context.
Conclusion
- Identity is multiple, interconnected, and contextually influenced; recognition of this complexity leads to a more profound understanding of individual experiences.
- Caution against stereotypes and oversimplification of identities, acknowledging each person’s unique blend of multiple identities.
