Title: " D7.14b: Idem-identity and Ipse-identity in Profiling Practices " Author: Wp7 Copyright Notice Members of the Fidis Consortium Versions Version Date Description (editor)

Deliverables 7.14a and 7.14b seek to detect in which way the new type of profiling that is the subject of FIDIS work package 7 – machine profiling based on data mining techniques – is different from previous ways of profiling, and how this relates to the construction of our identity. The concepts of idem and ipse, coined by the French philosopher Ricoeur, are used to look into the issue of human identity as something that emerges between a person and her environment.
