He focuses on the latter, "properties of the person that he has and that for certain purposes he can identify himself as having to others by conveying information to them." This paper is one of an entire book of papers made available for free download under Creative Commons, Lessons from the Identity trail. Other papers from the book worth reading are this one on engineering consent and this one, a feminist analysis of cam girls.
