Tintoretto : Tradition and Identity
The Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594) is an ambiguous figure in the history of art.Critics and writers such as Vasari, Ruskin and Sartre all placed him in opposition to the established artistic practice of his time, noting that he had abandoned the values that typified the venerable Venetian Renaissance tradition.He was even expelled as an apprentice from the workshop of Titian.This informative and generously illustrated book offers a long-overdue re-evaluation of Tintoretto's unique work and entertaining life.

White Folks : Race and Identity in Rural America
White Folks explores the experiences and stories of eight white people from a small farming community in northern Wisconsin.It examines how white people learn to be ‘white’ and reveals how white racial identity is dependent on people of color—even in situations where white people have little or no contact with racial others.Drawing on in-depth interviews with Delores, Frank, William, Erin, Robert, Libby, and Stan, as well as on his own experiences growing up in this same rural community, Lensmire creates a portrait of white people that highlights how their relations to people of color and their cultures are seldom simple and are characterized not just by fear and rejection, but also by attraction, envy, and desire.White Folks helps readers recognize the profound ambivalence that has characterized white thinking and feeling in relation to people of color for at least the last two hundred years.There is nothing smooth about the souls of white folks. Current antiracist work is often grounded in a white privilege framework that has proven ineffective — in part because it reduces white people to little more than the embodiment of privilege.Lensmire provides an alternative that confronts the violence at the core of white racial selves that has become increasingly visible in American society and politics, but that also illuminates conflicts and complexities there.

Ultimately, identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that is continuously evolving as we navigate through life.

Entrepreneurial Identity and Identity Work
Identities can potentially serve as powerful elements that both drive, and are shaped by, entrepreneurial actions.Entrepreneurial identity is a complex construct with multidisciplinary roots, and therefore there is scope to more fully enrich our theoretical understanding of identity and identity formation, at both individual and organizational levels, and their relationship to entrepreneurial processes, practices and activities.This book highlights two key features of contemporary research on entrepreneurial identity.First, to see it as a dynamic rather than a (relatively) fixed and unchanging feature, shaped by different life episodes.It is increasingly fluid, multilevel and multidimensional, comprising multiple subidentities rather than a univocal (and unchanging) self.As such, it has a profound effect not only on the way we feel, think and behave, but also on what we aim to achieve.Accordingly, it is vital that its dynamics are better understood, particularly in determining how actors behave in an entrepreneurial context.The book’s second focus is on identity work as the process through which entrepreneurial identities are formed and shaped, and the contributors demonstrate how the dynamics of identity formation relate to entrepreneurial outcomes in a range of individual and organizational contexts.This book was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Visions of the Village : Ruralness, Identity, and Czech Opera
Visions of the Village offers a nuanced account of the cultural history, political salience, and social resonances of Czech village operas, especially those by composers Bed%rich Smetana, Antonín Dvo%rák, and Leoš Janácek.By examining music-critical writings, institutional and government records, letters, and other archival sources, Christopher Campo-Bowen examines how musical representations of the idealized village acquired and provided meaning for Czech audiences, serving as the basis for understandings of a wide range of sociocultural and political issues, including gender, class, nationalism, imperialism, ethnicity, and race. This book explores how operas like Smetana's The Bartered Bride, Dvo%rák's The Devil and Kate, and Janácek's Jenufa served as focal points for the articulation of an essentialist sense of Czech identity.In addition to composers and their operas, Campo-Bowen investigates the output of critics, administrators, and other urban intellectuals like Otakar Hostinský, František Adolf %Subert, and Zdenek Nejedlý to understand the impact of village operas on public discourse.Through this in-depth analysis, this book uncovers how music functions at the nexus of the desire for politically resonant ethnoracial identities and the representation of ruralness, from the nineteenth century to the present.

Is gender identity sexist?
Gender identity itself is not inherently sexist. Gender identity is a deeply personal and individual experience that reflects a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. However, societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes around gender can be sexist, as they often reinforce traditional gender roles and perpetuate inequality between genders. It is important to separate the concept of gender identity from these societal constructs in order to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities.

Is cloning identity fraud?
Cloning is not the same as identity fraud. Cloning refers to the creation of a genetically identical copy of an organism, while identity fraud involves using someone else's personal information for fraudulent purposes. While cloning may raise ethical and moral concerns, it is not the same as the criminal act of identity fraud. However, the potential misuse of cloned genetic material could potentially lead to identity fraud if used to create false identities.
