Identichnost i Globalizacia
IDENTITY AND GLOBALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The main thesis of this paper is that the conceptualisation of the processes of globalization and social pluralization requires to assign to the term “identity” the status of a central category of social sciences and humanities. That is why this term - if we understand it in a non-essentialist way - focuses on the process of interactively mediated self-relation and self-creation, a process that makes possible the constitution of a socially situated subjectivity that is a necessary condition for managing one’s own biography in the context of being confronted with irreducibly different role expectations, cultural horizons and grammars of group belongings.
