Reflexions about a Cultural and Social Phenomenon: Identity

124 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The unifying theme of contributions gathered in this book is identity, which is an especially topical issue in contemporary society, culture, and art. The monograph presents many of the diverse ways of reflecting on identity, along with the broad interdisciplinary impact of this concept. The authors employ the latest theoretical concepts found in cultural and social landscapes and apply them to specific areas of their scientific interest. The book considers identity as a two-fold concept. On the one hand, identity refers to identicalness, conformity, and sameness. On the other hand, identity refers to something specific and unrepeated that distinguishes individuals or communities from one another.
