identity as narrative

Jill3 Comments

Reading Charlotte H‰gstrˆm’s chapter for our World of Warcraft anthology, I found this quote:

A person’s identity is not to be found in behavious. Nor – important though this is – in the reactions of othersm but in the capacity to keep a particular narrative going. (Giddens 1991:54; emphasis his)

And I’m sure that has something to do with blogs. Charlotte’s chapter, btw, is wonderful, all about names in WoW, and excellently written.

    This is picked up on in literature on the construction of identity in Stalin’s Russia. There is a vast literature about self-presentation in different forms. One of these is diary writing, which would seem very much to relate to blogs.
