While 'identity' is a key concept in psychology and the social sciences, researchers have used and understood this concept in diverse and often contradictory ways. The Cambridge Handbook of Identity presents the lively, multidisciplinary field of identity research as working around three central themes: (i) difference and sameness between people; (ii) people's agency in the world; and (iii) how identities can change or remain stable over time. The chapters in this collection explore approaches behind these themes, followed by a close look at their methodological implications, while examples from a number of applied domains demonstrate how identity research follows concrete analytical procedures. Featuring an international team of contributors who enrich psychological research with historical, cultural, and political perspectives, the handbook also explores contemporary issues of identity politics, diversity, intersectionality, and inclusion. It is an essential resource for all scholars and students working on identity theory and research.

"Today, the majority of the world's population lives in a country with falling marriage rates, a phenomenon with profound impacts on women, gender, and sexuality. In this exceptionally crafted ethnography, Sarah Lamb probes the gendered trend of single living in India, examining what makes living outside marriage for women increasingly possible and yet incredibly challenging. Featuring the stories of never-married women as young as 35 and as old as 92, the book offers a remarkable portrait of a way of life experienced by women across class and caste divides, from urban professionals and rural day laborers, to those who identify as heterosexual and lesbian, to others who evaded marriage both by choice and by circumstance. For women in India, complex social-cultural and political-economic contexts are foundational to their lives and decisions, and evading marriage is often an unintended consequence of other pressing life priorities. Arguing that never-married women are able to illuminate their society's broader social-cultural values, Lamb offers a new and startling look at prevailing systems of gender, sexuality, kinship, freedom, and social belonging in India today"-- Provided by publisher.

Penser la question du genre en opposant le masculin et le féminin a conduit les sociétés humaines à une hiérarchisation génératrice d’inégalités entre femmes et hommes mais aussi de discrimination envers des populations (trans, LGBTI, etc.) transgressant les normes classiques et les stéréotypes sexués. L’histoire des études de genre montre que le concept biologique de sexe a souvent été évincé de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales, celle-ci se concentrant sur l’aspect social et culturel, les normes et les stéréotypes de genre. À travers cet ouvrage, Martine Paulicand veut montrer que la compréhension de ce qu’est le sexe en biologie peut se révéler utile dans la recherche en SHS, sans tomber pour autant dans une forme d’essentialisation qui conduirait à affirmer que « tout est dans la nature » et que les différences entre femmes et hommes représenteraient un ordre établi. En proposant d’aborder les questions de genre par la continuité plutôt que par la binarité, Martine Paulicand offre une ouverture permettant de contourner cet écueil.
