Breakwell (1983, 1986; Twigger-Ross et al., 2003) argues that places are important
sources of identity elements. Aspects of identity derived from places we belong to arise
because places have symbols that have meaning and significance to us. Places
represent personal memories, and because places are located in the socio-historical
matrix of intergroup relations, they represent social memories (shared histories). Places
do not have permanent meaning; their meaning is renegotiated continually and therefore
their contribution to identity is never the same. Breakwell (1996, see Twigger-Ross et al.,
2003) also argues that being in new and different places affects identity through
attenuation/accentuation, threat and dislocation. She also emphasizes that places are
nested (from room to country). The nesting may be defined as a product of social and
personal meanings, not necessarily as a product of geographical hierarchy
