Stuart hall in “Who Needs Identity” states that identification is “a process of articulation, a suturing, an over-determination not a subsumption. There is always ‘too much’ or ‘too little’ -- an over determination or a lack, but never a proper fit, a totality.” In this understanding of identification, Hall determined that in the process of identifying, a person is differencing in a form that does not completely fit the whole of one’s personhood, but because of the over determination of identification, it serves as an all-encompassing whole that could identify a person as a group of people. In relation to the indication of identification, how does identification control power structures of hegemonic cultures in the complicated relationship of empowering and depowering individuals who are unified?
