modern identities  

Definición

  • Modern identities have become a feature of societies around the world and have in turn been influenced by global factors. The construction of collective identities and boundaries—a construction that has been going on in all human societies throughout human history—constitutes, like the exercise and regulation of power, the production and distribution of economic resources and the structuring of economic relations with all of which it is continually interwoven, a basic component of human societies, the central core of which is the cultural, “symbolic,” and social construction of boundaries of collectivities, of inclusion and exclusion, and of trust and solidarity among the members of such collectivities.
