„As a very basic starting point, identity is the human  capacity – rooted in language – to know ‘who’s who’ (and hence ‘what’s  what’). This involves knowing who we are, knowing who others are, them  knowing who we are, us knowing who they think we are, and so on: a  multi-dimensional classification or mapping of the human world and our  places in it, as individuals and as members of collectivities (cf. Ashton  et al.2004). It is a process – identification– not a ‘thing’. It is not something  that one can have, or not; it is something that one does.“ (In: Social Identity. London New York 2008, Routledge, S. 5)
