Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a general backlash against
identity politics, both in the academy and the public
sphere. This paper recognises the problems in identity
politics as arising from an apparent difficulty in
conceptualising identity separately from notions
of fixity and exclusion. It argues that politicised identities
could, instead, be premised upon an explicit affirmation
of the provisionality of political identity that is oriented
to a “tomorrow “ in which the identity will no longer
be required.
