Other multigenders involve moving through single genders one at a time. As a result, having multiple important identities may result in a greater probability that interference between these identities will result. It considers the case of multiple identities within a person, and then examines multiple identities within a situation. Multiple Identities and Intersectional Theory in the Context of Multiculturalism 1. Intersectionality theory stresses the importance of considering an individual’s combination of group memberships and identities to more thoroughly understand the individual’s unique social experiences and worldview. Furthermore, interference between multiple central identities may be especially likely if the cultures associ-ated with them differ. Some multigenders involve multiple gender identities that each do not change. an unimportant identity. The first part of this paper presents the issue of "multiple identities" as it has been addressed in Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory and as it has been addressed by Erikson's critics. Such a decentered subjectivity can encompass many different, perhaps even contradictory, identities, and is not necessarily centered by one self-defining or "true" identity. Genderfluid is sometimes used this way, though it can also mean moving through different multigenders. Within Western thought the subject — that is, the self as a thinking, feeling, psycho-physiological entity — has been traditionally defined as a centered consciousness, characterized and unified by one self-defining identity. Categorization plays a fundamental role in organizing daily interactions with the social world. Identity Wounds Identity Wounds. Identity, Multiple: Overview. This chapter reviews the construct of intersectionality in relation to multiple social-group memberships and multiple social identities. Chapter: (p.187) 11 Identity Wounds Source: Navigating Multiple Identities Author(s): Michal Krumer-Nevo Menny Malka Publisher: Oxford University Press This chapter discusses the consideration of multiple identities that people have and that exist in situated interaction. It covers the relation between identity theory and other related theories, as well as the nature and operation of identities. A person can go from having multiple genders to a single gender and back again. Intersectionality, as defined in an article by Steve Williams, is "a sociological theory about how an individual can face multiple threats of discrimination when their identities overlap a number of minority classes, such as race, gender, age, ethnicity, health and other characteristics." Because individuals enact multiple identities all voices within a group do not speak in the same way or have the same recognition by others. Similarly, Nash calls out the uneasy tension between whether intersectionality “is a theory of marginalised subjectivity or a generalised theory of identity” (2008, p. 10). Multiple identity, on the other hand, is one specific conceptualization of the more general idea that the subject is not centered, but instead decentered and multiple.
