Abstract
It might be common knowledge, or rather a common experience, that “the identity” is formed over time through an unconscious process in which both personal and social elements play different roles in different situations; age, gender, position (in a family or other groups), profession, language, ethnicity, nationality, and religious affiliation are only some of the elements. The identity is never complete: “it is continuously in process and constantly forming and modifying itself” as Nora Repo, the author of the present work, observes (p. 38). Thus, to grasp someone’s identity or to describe its dynamic nature is not an easy task.
