Sameness and Otherness – The Mechanics of Love and Devotion
Sameness and Otherness – The Mechanics of Love and Devotion

Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on foregrounding the subtle ways in which two traditional values – love and devotion – can be reactivated in contemporary writings in order to help engineering the reconstruction and restating of the concept of identity – be it individual, group, or national identity. The selection of texts is meant to illustrate the importance of different narratives, actions, and attitudes in the complex equation of defining one’s sense of belonging in an internationalized world.
