Hall's theory of identity

Hall's theory of identity emphasizes that identity is not fixed but is constructed through social interactions and cultural contexts. He argues that our sense of who we are evolves based on how society perceives us, language, media, and personal experiences. Identity is fluid, shaped by ongoing processes of negotiation and redefinition. It is influenced by various factors such as race, gender, and ethnicity, which intersect and interact to form our unique sense of self. Overall, Hall sees identity as dynamic and performative, continuously shaped by our engagement with the world around us.
