The first is what we will call place identifications. This refers to a person’s expressed identification with a place, e.g. a person from London may refer to themselves as a Londoner.
In this sense place can be considered to be a social category and will be subject to the same rules as a social identification within social identity theory. Hogg and Abrams (1988) suggest that social identity comprises different social identifications, any one of which will be come salient depending on the context. For Hogg and Abrams (1988), a social identification is defined as: ‘identity contingent self- descriptions deriving from membership in social categories (nationality, sex, race, occupation, sports teams . . .)’ p. 25. Place identification would express membership of a group of people who are defined by location. If this position is taken then place identifi- cation is a type of social identification. However, in
taking this position then it could be said that the concept of place is subsumed into social identity and subsequently ignored. We would argue that the social identity approach can only account for part of the relationship between self and environment.
