David Gauntlett- Identity

  1. Fluidity of identity– The ability to change how you identify yourself. For example, gender is fluid, you can choose to identify as the binary ‘stereotype’ male or female, or you can identify as more fluid- non-binary, transgender, gender-fluid etc.
  2. Constructed identity– Identifying yourself differently to others by things you go through and things you have interests in.
  3. Negotiated identity– The idea in which you come to an agreement of ‘who is who’.
  4. Collective identity– A shared identification between people and groups. For example, liking a specific genre of music- you all belong to that collective identity.
