Searching Self-Image: Identities To Be Self-Evident

The School at Columbia University

Naming can alternatively be a definition of identity or a source of stigma. Un-naming can alter a story and serve to unhinge fixed definitions, initiating a democratic discourse that finds its own way of escaping the thrall of hegemony and dominating canons.

This article is written to follow up to the author’s Messing Around With Identity Constructs and continues his effort to establish the efficacy of a poststructural and poetic aesthetic in research writing.

Key Words: identity • poststructural • poetic • aesthetic • art education
