Summary/Abstract: This study brings forth the construction of multiple and fragmented identities in British cultural products, namely three music videos that had shaped the worldwide contemporary cultural perception ever since they got released. By incorporating the theoretical concepts and relevant scholarly perspectives included in the bibliography, the analysis aims at highlighting the following themes: the work of ideology and hegemonic forces, as well as possible forms of resistance through creative consumption, the construction of identity and subject positions in post-modern culture, stereotyped or/and unconventional representations of race/ethnicity, the contemporary city as the realm of competing discourses, representations, simulacra, globalisation and disjunctive cultural flows
