Description: Self Identity and Social Institutions demonstrates how the individual constructs a self from the thousands of colloquial identities provided by a society's culture and reveals how the individual actualizes and sustains an integrated and stable self while navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of everyday institutional life. Heise and Mac Kinnon identify a cultural theory of people that is implicit in the semantics of identity - nouns and outline how that theory functions in everyday life and the development of the self; the book identifies major social institutions through network analysis of identity semantics and it develops a cybernetic model of self - process wherein individuals re - confirm their self - sentiments after participating in disconfirming institutional roles balancing one inauthenticity with another.
