Identity fractal definition
Identity fractal. The term fractal has been borrowed from the fields of mathematics and physics and applied to identity theories. Applied to identity, the term fractal focuses on the non-fragmented nature and multiplicity of an individual’s identities. Identity fractalisation argues that identities are multiple yet form a whole, with each aspect (fractal) of identity having a dynamic relationship with the others (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, 2011). Indexicality: Broadly speaking, an indexical relationship is one in which an utterance, behavior, etc. (directly or indirectly) points to or indicates something. Otherwise stated a sign of some form references, points to, indicates, or helps to create something else (i.e. social identity, a norm).
