To date, there has been no comprehensive and coherent approach to determining the communicative and precommunicative processes involved in the fabrication of group identities. This book fills this gap by developing a unified theoretical basis with which to capture empirical fabrication processes. Moreover, it contributes to the domain of group communication research. A basic theoretical riverbed provides a conceptual foundation for the description and explanation of intra- and intergroup communication, starting not with 'objective' categories, but with empirical processes of sociation. In addition, the example of group identity fabrication serves to present the architecture of an innovative social theory that meets the demands of communication studies and some of its neighboring disciplines.
