Abstract

I examine here the connections between people’s accounts of themselves in everyday talk, and broader social and cultural beliefs and values. These connections are not straightforward. When trying to make sense of a social or political issue, people move between different ideological perspectives and this variability is closely tied to the ways in which personal identity is constructed.
