Résumé
Identity has become a core notion of UK political discourse. Despite its widespread use, its meaning is not clearly circumscribed and varies according to the discursive context. The article focuses on identity’s frequent contexts of usage. In the general media identity is heavily connoted while the meaning that is ascribed to it fluctuates according to the left-wing/right-wing-orientation of the source. In social and political science, identity has been contested as a valid category. Finally, the article traces the emergence of identity as a critical notion in the recent developments of political theory.
