IDENTITY AND PLACE: TOWARDS ONE DURABLE INTERPLAY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES
IDENTITY AND PLACE: TOWARDS ONE DURABLE INTERPLAY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

Summary/Abstract: The question that is central in this paper is linked to the historical interplay between two fundamental concepts in the social sciences and humanities: identity and place. I thereby argue that there are two interlinked developments that have significantly marked the study of the relations between identity and place: (1) the introduction and development of the concept of boundaries and together with it the shift towards considering identity “as a process” and (2) the alteration of the isomorphism between spatial locations and social identities.
