Book excerpt: ,,Normativity & Ideology" contains two essays picking up on the idea of a fabricated social identity of the individual but also of social groups, as presented by different scholars.

It brings together ideas of popular scholars such as Judith Butler, Jerome Bruner, Michael Foucault or Paul Baker.
