Entrepreneurial Identity and Identity Work
Identities can potentially serve as powerful elements that both drive, and are shaped by, entrepreneurial actions.Entrepreneurial identity is a complex construct with multidisciplinary roots, and therefore there is scope to more fully enrich our theoretical understanding of identity and identity formation, at both individual and organizational levels, and their relationship to entrepreneurial processes, practices and activities.This book highlights two key features of contemporary research on entrepreneurial identity.First, to see it as a dynamic rather than a (relatively) fixed and unchanging feature, shaped by different life episodes.It is increasingly fluid, multilevel and multidimensional, comprising multiple subidentities rather than a univocal (and unchanging) self.As such, it has a profound effect not only on the way we feel, think and behave, but also on what we aim to achieve.Accordingly, it is vital that its dynamics are better understood, particularly in determining how actors behave in an entrepreneurial context.The book’s second focus is on identity work as the process through which entrepreneurial identities are formed and shaped, and the contributors demonstrate how the dynamics of identity formation relate to entrepreneurial outcomes in a range of individual and organizational contexts.This book was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Clothing and Identity in Early Modern Rome
This is the first book-length exploration of the clothes worn in early modern Rome and provides novel insights into the city of Rome during one of its most fascinating periods.It also challenges the notion – well-established in dress historical research on the early modern period – that one was supposed to dress solely according to one’s social station; as Camilla Annerfeldt explores in great depth, this notion does not always seem to have been applicable to early modern Rome because of its very constitution. Using a range of primary sources from the Roman archives as well as texts of early modern writers, Clothing and Identity in Early Modern Rome presents a vivid account of the history of an early modern society, which will be helpful to historians of fashion, society, politics, material culture, and art, as well as everyone interested in the period when Rome was one of the dominant centres of Europe – culturally, socially, and politically.

Between Redemption & Perdition : Modern Antisemitism and Jewish Identity
Originally published in 1990, this book focuses on the challenge to Jewish identity posed by the conflicting forces of enlightenment, emancipation, modern political antisemitism, and secular ideologies like Zionism, nationalism, and socialism.At the heart of his discussion stands the intense, tortured, and ultimately tragic encounter of Jews with Germans and Austrians.He also deals at length with the new problems of Jewish cultural and political identity posed by the existence of the state of Israel and its embattled position among the nations.In the course of the analysis the book looks at the tragedy of assimilation in central Europe, with the optimistic dream of Enlightenment and Bildung coming to a climax in the nightmare of racial antisemitism and the Holocaust.He explores the ambivalent relationship of the Jews with the European Left, showing how many Jewish intellectuals found a new political home in radical and socialist movements, though these movements often retained negative stereotypes of Jews and Judaism and exhibited a fierce opposition to the maintenance of any separate Jewish identity.The role of Zionism is discussed and the more recent challenges to its legitimacy examined.

Landscape, Heritage and National Identity in Modern Europe
This book describes the way in which landscape and landscape heritage have been – and still are – used to define national identities.It shows how national narratives use different types of landscapes.Some nations use nature as their main point of reference, partly to circumcise conflicts between different ethnic groups.Other nations use agrarian landscapes, that are often describes as timeless and ‘rooted’.Again other nations use history as a major sources for defining identities.In these cases, myths of origins, ‘Golden Ages’ or wars and conflicts deliver the materials for national narratives.The final section describes how nation states developed new urban as well as rural landscapes as national showpieces.As landscapes are an important but under-researched aspect of nation-building, this book fills a gap in the study of nationalism.

Identity Theory
All people derive particular identities from their roles in society, the groups they belong to, and their personal characteristics.Introduced almost thirty years ago, identity theory is a social psychological theory in the field of sociology that attempts to understand identities, their sources in interaction and society, their processes of operation, and their consequences for interaction and society.The theory brings together in a single framework the central roles of both meaning and resources in human interaction and purpose.This book describes identity theory, its origins, the research that supports it, and its future direction.It covers the relation between identity theory and other related theories as well as the nature and operation of identities.In addition, the book discusses the multiple identities that individuals hold from their multiple positions in society and organization as well as the multiple identities activated by many people interacting in groups and organizations. And, it covers the manner in which identities offer both stability and change to individuals.Co-authored by the originators of the theory, this book accessibly presents decades of research in a single volume, making the full range of this powerful new theory understandable to readers at all levels.

Is gender identity sexist?
Gender identity itself is not inherently sexist. Gender identity is a deeply personal and individual experience that reflects a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. However, societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes around gender can be sexist, as they often reinforce traditional gender roles and perpetuate inequality between genders. It is important to separate the concept of gender identity from these societal constructs in order to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities.

Cloning is not the same as identity fraud. Cloning refers to the creation of a genetically identical copy of an organism, while identity fraud involves using someone else's personal information for fraudulent purposes. While cloning may raise ethical and moral concerns, it is not the same as the criminal act of identity fraud. However, the potential misuse of cloned genetic material could potentially lead to identity fraud if used to create false identities.
