The final chapter summarizes the findings of this study on intertextual media references in conversations among Millennial friends in their late twenties and discusses how they contribute to our understanding of knowledge and identity in everyday conversation, as well as our understanding of Millennial identity construction in particular. The findings as related to further developing an interactional sociolinguistic (IS) approach to knowledge in discourse, including contextualization cues, intertextuality, and framing, are reviewed. The findings as related to the merging of intertextuality and epistemics and the findings as related to how epistemic and frame management relying on intertextual references contribute to group identity construction in discourse are reviewed and discussed. This chapter also considers individual identity as displayed through the use of media references in this study of Millennial identity construction.

In this study, I examine a spatial dimension of the oppression of the Ukrainian intelligentsia in the early 1930s, and the creation of a place of surveillance, the Writers’ Home “Slovo” in Kharkiv. This building fashioned an important identity for Ukrainian intellectuals. This study analyzes how the meaning of the place was transformed from an oasis of intellectual freedom to one of the most agonizing and tragic cites in Kharkiv, a place of suffering, and how the changes in human perceptions of places and their meanings altered people’s group identity as well as individual convictions and behaviors. I demonstrate how external realities and personal fallacies facilitated the intellectual’s conformism which was encouraged and rewarded by the state. The study also illuminates how Stalin’s repressions leveled and in many cases erased individual identity. The research was conducted in Ukrainian libraries and archives.
