However, where these two conversational entities differ I feel is that whereas the griping self is in effect a contemptuous entity, the German agonised self (see 7.4.2) which is a more angst-ridden conversational being. The re-invoked self is perhaps a rather clumsy term, and one which is not as transparent as the other terms used here. Essentially the re-invoked self refers to selves - commonly collective ones - which are invoked from past shared experience. Strangely, individuated selves seem to receive far less re- invocation than positive ones, i. e. if a self is to be re-invoked, it is far likely to be one with which the other participants can align to solidarically. Past shared events or experiences provide the common topical resource for the mobilisation of re-invoked selves, with'Hey, do you remember' being a typical conversational initiator, as in the following.
