The Struggles of Bilingual Authors: Developing Identity in the Additional Language
Dan J. Tannacito (Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA)
Copyright: © 2021 |Pages: 12
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-6508-7.ch002
Abstract
This chapter examines the struggles of bilingual authors to write in English as an additional language. Autobiographical works in English illustrate themes found to be central to the development of biliteracy. The theme of finding voice is a highly variable theme in the writing of many bilinguals. The theme of constructing identity takes multiple forms as bilingual authors renegotiate their identities in the additional language. The struggle for place is a theme that permeates the narratives of expatriation, exile, immigration, and repatriation. These three struggles offer new writers opportunities to learn to develop their own creativity. Teachers of English as an additional language can structure their curricula to reflect the language learning practice of reading and writing.

Challenges of Meta Access Control Model Enforcement to an Increased Interoperability
Identity is the fundamental concept of uniquely identifying an object (person, computer, etc.) within a context. That context might be local (within a department), corporate (within an enterprise), national (within the bounds of a country), global (all such object instances on the planet), and possibly universal (extensible to environments not yet known). Many identities exist for local, corporate, and national domains. Some globally unique identifiers exist for technical environments, often computer-generated.

Virtual Communities and Collaborative Learning in a Post-Graduate Course
An elusive concept, best explained in the cited PRIME dictionary: «Identity can be explained as an exclusive perception of life, integration into a social group, and continuity, which is bound to a body and shaped by society. This concept of identity distinguishes between “I” and “Me” […]: “I” is the instance that is accessible only by the individual self, perceived as an instance of liberty and initiative. “Me” is supposed to stand for the social attributes, defining a human identity that is accessible by communications and that is an inner instance of control and consistency. » (Pfizmann et al., 2006, p. 22)

Privacy, Contingency, Identity, and the Group
This is another difficult philosophical term. An individual’s identity is whatever that all together make up that particular individual to be the person he or she is. Thus recently technology has made it possible for one’s identity to be stolen, i.e., information pertaining to a particular individual taken away such that the perpetrator assumes the identity of the individual and engages in business dealings in the latter’s name, at the latter’s expenses. This is the reason why privacy has become so important in today’s world.

Virtual Political Office Where Gender and Culture Meet
This is rendered differently during the various historical periods. In premodern societies, an individual identity was fixed, solid, and stable. Identity was based on predefined social roles and traditional societal systems with established beliefs and behavior patterns. Identity was not a subject of reflection or negotiation. Identity theories traditionally assume a notion of identity as homogeneous and stable; however, postmodern identity is understood as a patchwork or pastiche of independent and partially contradictory subidentities, which are to be constructed anew in everyday identity work and related to one another to support a sense of coherence.

Identity is defined as a process, as a condition of being or becoming, that is constantly renewed, confirmed or transformed at the individual as well as at the collective level. There are two distinct aspects of one’s identity, namely social identity and personality (or personal identity). Social identity refers to the social circumstances into which one is born while personal identity is acquired later in life. The relationship between individual and collective identity is mutual. Individual identity is socially constructed through social interaction. Simultaneously, collective identities are negotiated through the individuals who identify with a particular group.
