I found it:

I found it while reading “Identity and Interaction: A Sociocultural Approach” by Mary Buchholz and Kira Hall for my 615 Discourse Analysis course.

“Identity emerges in local discourse versus located in individual psyche or fixed social categories.

It is the ‘social positioning of self and other’.

It is intersubjective.

Also includes local ethnographic categories and transitory interactional positions.”
