Description
Identity: A Very Short IntroductionIdentity has become one of the most widely used terms today, appearing in many different contexts. Anything and everything has an identity, and identity crises have become almost equally pervasive. Yet "identity" is extremely versatile, meaning different things to different people and in different scientific disciplines. To many its meaning seems self evident, since its various uses share common features, so often the term is used without a definition
Identity has become one of the most widely used terms today, appearing in many different contexts. Anything and everything has an identity, and identity crises have become almost equally pervasive. Yet "identity" is extremely versatile, meaning different things to different people and in different scientific disciplines. To many its meaning seems self-evident, since its various uses share common features, so often the term is used without a definition of what, exactly, is meant by it. This provokes the core question: What exactly is identity? In this Very Short Introduction Florian Coulmas provides a survey of the many faces of the concept of identity, and discusses its significance and varied meanings in the fields of philosophy, sociology, and psychology, as well as politics and law. Tracing our concern with identity to its deep roots in Europe's intellectual history, individualism, and the felt need to draw borderlines, Coulmas identifies the most important features used to mark off individual and collective identities, and demonstrates why they are deemed important. He concludes with a glimpse at the many ways in which literature has engaged with problems of identity throughout history.

Very nice
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Pitch Gray
I just received these for my son. They are very nice and look sturdy, but he hasn't worn them yet, so I cannot speak to how well they hold up in the wash or when worn. They appear to be the right size and look stretchy, but not the kind of stretchy that feels super tight on the foot (which I don't like). If they wear unusually well or poorly, I will come back and edit this.

A sock with real support and thickness!
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
I’m pretty happy with these. It seems like sock manufacturing changed 10-15 years ago, and it’s become hard to find pairs that are actually thick and durable. I bought these for an event where I knew I’d be on my feet all day, and they did not disappoint.
They provided excellent support throughout the day, even while wearing shoes that typically make my feet ache after just a couple of hours. Glad to finally find a pair that feels well-made.
