I was tempted to dive into the L vs. E as it may apply to psychology and 
sociology, but will just offer this instead.  Formal deprogramming!   Say the 
quiet part, H, lol.

Rather than -emic vs -etic, I prefer Lagrangian vs Eulerian, respectively. 
This avoids the concept of "inside" vs "outside", which then avoids the scoping 
issue Marcus raised re: nation vs other types of boundaries.

A self-imposed identity is just as imposed as an other-imposed identity. While 
some of us may chafe at other-imposed vs self-imposed, I think there's another 
type of person, those who resist any stable identity, whether other- or 
self-imposed. And resistance is the wrong way to frame it. It's more like a 
tendency to swirl around in an attractor versus a tendency to hop from one 
basin to another.

He/Him may be relatively accurate today. But I'm not committing to its accuracy 
tomorrow.

"individualism" is armatured significantly around "/I don't like to be told/" 
with being */told who I am/* perhaps the most egregious, even if I'm being told 
that "/I'm someone who doesn't like to be told who I am"/.
