“Identity is complicated. Everyone thinks they’ve got one”. (Gauntlett)

‘Presentation of self’ (Goffman) combination of practises the amount to an idea we have of how others see us.

“Gender is a performance and gender and lifestyle magazines provide the script of this performance” (Butler)

“There has been a change in focus from the representation of the passive, dependent female to a more confident focus on self” (Angela Mc Robbie)
