Contesting boundaries into the construction of collective identification. Abstract
Drawn from a study associated with construction of collective identification in DIVA mag between 1994 and 2004, this informative article considers the discursive contestation associated with the boundaries necessarily, however never ever straightforwardly, erected in the act. Analysing first a range of articles and 2nd (and much more significantly) debates about who вЂwe’ have been in and between visitors’ letters, the content centers around the вЂtrouble’ posed by bisexuality in this age. Visitors draw on and competition a cluster of interrelated characterisations chat with hot babes of bisexuals: as undecided, as type of pollutant, so that as inadequate facsimiles of вЂreal lesbians’, along with pretty much available characterisations of вЂus’. These arguments are fundamentally handled editorially, and constantly вЂend’ with telephone telephone calls for acceptance.
