ABSTRACT In this article I argue that Scandinavian literature in the last 25 years is characterized by an exploration of postmodern conditions for identity construction. My point of departure is that the posttraditional society of late modernity can be described as a community experiencing deep unrest in the two ”nests” which provided most people with feelings of belonging and security in the traditional modern epoch, i.e. the nuclear family and the nation. I analyze two Norwegian novels, Jan Kjærstads´ Forføreren (1993) and Dag Solstads´ Armand V. Fotnoter til en uutgravd roman (2006), as examples of how postnational and cosmopolitan constellations influence both our individual lives and our collectively imagined communities. I focus on what I call click and dragnationalism, XL-nationalism, the one-man-nation and postnational war.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization has permeated all aspects of social life (economic, political, cultural) and affected the daily life of people. Postindustrial society and postmodern culture have made a significant impact on the transformation of identities, which have truly become liquid - multidimensional, discontinuous, decentralized, fragmented, unstable and inconstant. Parallel with this, new tendencies in culture have almost completely narrowed the boundary between high and popular creativity, thus challenging the status of the established, until then recognized values. These changes have also become evident in the contemporary Serbian society, which is obsessed by preserving the tradition and long-developed identities. By chance, that society has had one foot in the postmodern information world, with the other stuck in the quagmire of old habits and misconceptions inherited from the period of premodern social awareness. By analysing crucial value aspects (traditionalism, conformism, authoritarianism and nationalism), the author of this paper attempts to provide an explanation (which is the basic precondition for the resolution) of the ambivalent and, seemingly, inescapable situation in which the culture of Serbian society finds itself.

This article illustrates the problematic nature of the use of intercultural, international exchange as the primary or singular mode of understanding the study abroad experience and proposes alternative ways of talking to students about their study abroad experiences. While the focus on cultural exchange may be a practical trope, it creates a clear understanding of them-versus-us in terms of values and behaviors. It also glazes over some central features of the postmodern study abroad experience. We argue that the study abroad can be understood through the metaphor of drag, i.e., the act of putting on a costume and performing an identity. ”Cultural drag” gives students the opportunity to experiment and play with their identity and explore how their privilege may change depending on where and how they present themselves. The article examines the strengths and weaknesses of this metaphor and explores how to advise students so they have an awareness of the role of their body once they enter the experience.
Abstract in Danish
Denne artikel illustrerer problematikkerne ved at benytte interkulturel og international udveksling som den eneste eller primære måde til at forstå studerendes udenlandsophold. Samtidig foreslår artiklen alternative måder til italesættelse af de studerendes oplevelse. Branchens fokus på kulturel udveksling er praktisk da det etablerer en modpol de studerende kan spejle værdier og handlinger i. Dog ignorerer dette fokus centrale aspekter af det postmoderne udenlandsophold for studerende.
Denne artikel argumenterer at metaforen kulturel drag, altså at iføre sig et kostume og spille en identitet, kan kaste lys på de studerendes oplevelse. Kulturel drag giver de studerende mulighed for at eksperimentere og lege med deres identitet, samt at undersøge hvordan deres privilegier ændrer sig alt efter deres positionalitet og fremtoning. Artiklen undersøger styrker og svagheder ved føromtalte metafor og undersøger hvordan studerende kan rådgives før udenlandsophold så de bliver bevidste om deres krops performativitet.

Full textAbstract:
The article problematizes the pressing dilemma that the postmodern age is posing to the globalized world in which the nation state is on one side losing its strengths and sovereignty, but on the other side is being strengthened by the unexpected effect of globalization. It is the effect of fighting for one's own identity, with which the national identity of citizens is also becoming stronger. But the other side, which the cosmopolitan standpoint also represents, is trying to open the closed communities of the communitarian type to other horizons, with which the citizens would not have to sacrifice their own identities; they would merely have to admit the inevitability of multi-levelness of identity. The article espouses the thesis that the formation of a cosmopolitan identity, which could be encouraged by a globalized cultural environment of a postmodern age, is not merely a possibility, but a reality, which should also be recognized by political structures. Santrauka Straipsnyje gvildenama dilema, postmoderniosios epochos iškelta globalizuotam pasauliui, kuriame nacionalinė valstybė, viena vertus, praranda savo tvirtumą ir suverenumą, tačiau, kita vertus, yra stiprinama netikėto globalizacijos poveikio. Tai poveikis kovos už savo paties identitetą, su kuriuo stiprėja ir nacionalinis piliečių identitetas. Tačiau kitas aspektas, kurį taip pat reprezentuoja kosmopolitinis požiūris, siekia atverti komunitarinio tipo uždaras visuomenes kitiems horizontams, kuriems piliečiai neprivalėtų aukoti savo pačių identitetų, o tik turėtų pripažinti, kad identiteto daugialypiškumas yra neišvengiamas. Straipsnyje palaikoma tezė, kad kosmopolitinio identiteto formavimas, kuris gali būti palaikomas postmoderniosios epochos globalizuotos kultūrinės aplinkos, nėra vien tik galimybė, bet ir realybė, kurią turi pripažinti politinės struktūros.

Full textAbstract:
Artiklen tager afsæt i hypotesen, at forfatterne bag sit-com’en “Klovn“ har været inspirerede af pointer hos Goffman, Žižek og Sloterdijk. Den viser gennem analyser af udvalgte afsnit af “Klovn“, hvordan den aktuelle socialitet synes gennemsyret af et særligt sæt “kønnede scripts“, som i markant grad styrer den sociale mikro-interaktion. Ikke mindst er de to mandlige hovedfigurer stærkt orienteret imod en særlig “kvindemoral“. Artiklen argumenterer videre for, at serien kritisk fremstiller et særligt træk ved vores kultur, nemlig hvad Sloterdijk har betegnet som “kynisk fornuft“. Desuden drøfter artiklen forholdet mellem populærkultur, herunder satiren, og kritisk socialanalytik, samt diskuterer, hvorvidt “Klovn“ kan siges at være ideologi-kritisk. “Klovn“ læses som portræt af en radikal postmoderne tilstand, kendetegnet dels ved agenternes porøse konstruktion af identitet gennem fragmenterede sociale spil, dels ved seriens opløsning af realitets-referencer, hvor distinktioner mellem sandt/falsk, godt/ondt, maskulin/feminin er afløst af en refleksion over tegnenes æstetiske forførelsesvirkning.
“Klovn“ fremviser disse elementer i det postmoderne med en satirisk, ironisk distance. Spørgsmålet er imidlertid, om den kritisk overskrider eller snarere reproducerer de ideologiske elementer, som den så illustrativt behandler.
ENGELSK ABSTRACT:
Mads Peter Karlsen & Kaspar Villadsen:
Have Danish Television Authors Read Goffman?
This article hypothesizes that the authors of the Danish sit-com “Klovn“ [Clown] found inspiration in key points advanced by Goffman, Žižek, and Sloterdijk. Through analysis of selected episodes, it shows how our present sociality seems pervaded by particular “gendered“ scripts, which govern social micro-interactions to a considerable extent. The two male main characters are particularly oriented toward a kind of “female morality“. The article also argues that the sit-com critically exposes a specific characteristic of our culture, what Sloterdijk termed “cynical reason“. The article also reflects upon the relationship between popular culture, satire in particular, and critical social analysis, and discusses whether “Klovn“ can be called a critique of ideology. “Klovn“ is seen as a portrait of a radicalized postmodern condition, in which agents construct their fragile identities through fragmented social games, and where distinctions between truth/false, good/evil, masculine/feminine has been dissolved and supplanted by considerations about the pure efficacy of seduction of signs. “Klovn“ demonstrates these characteristics of the post-modern with an ironic distance. The question is, however, if it critically transgresses or rather merely reproduces the ideological elements that it treats so vividly.
Key words: Popular culture, interactionism, gender roles, cynical reason, Goffman, Žižek.

Full textAbstract:
Specific discourses of our mother tongue (which is not always our mother's tongue) are supposed to decisively constitute our subjectivity. These discourses which are constituting us and are available to us offer possible identities. These identities carry ethno-culturally-specific meanings, which are symbolised within and by spoken, written, and non-verbal language/s. Are languages given the same relevance when giving meaning to postmodern ethnicity, if one understands postmodern ethnicity as a “stance of simultaneously transcending ethnicity as a complete, self-contained system but retaining it as a selectively preferred, evolving, participatory system?” Multilinguality, as it may correspond with aspects of postmodern ethnicity, seems to imply an interaction between different languages with their distinct understanding of self and the world which manifests in a kaleidoscopic view, temporarily creating new constellations of meaning.

Full textAbstract:
The present day discourse of the postmodern European and national self‐identification is closely related to a fundamental question, how to evaluate theoretically the essential cultural changes under global transformation. The global technological, political, economic and socio‐cultural world powers are highligted in recent years. These powers in the national and European space reveal a unique, multicultural and global process of new images and symbols. But so far there is no any theoretical model or paradigm, which could define peculiarities of postmodern culture under global transformation. Changing European and national cultural identity is an integral part of global modernity. Identity, that is undergoing changes in global modernity, becomes an inter‐subjective cultural unity; an expression of that identity which is represented by new cultural images, beliefs, customs and a unique worldview. Lithuanian identity is still perceived as a unique cultural combination of European and national fundamental values, symbols and images. Modernioji lietuviškoji kultūra ir įvaizdžiai flobaliosios transformacijos sąlygomis Santrauka Europietiškojoje ir pasaulinėje kultūros istorijoje dar nebuvo tokio masto ir tokios apimties kultūros vertybių kaitos, kokia vyksta dėl šiuolaikinių telekomunikacijų, medijų ir transliacijų. Europos erdvėje išryškėja unikalus, daugiakultūris ir vis labiau intensyvėjantis naujųjų medijų diktuojamas globaliųjų įvaizdžių bei simbolių judėjimas. Dėl šiuolaikinio globaliojo daugiakultūriškumo poveikio europietiškieji ir nacionaliniai tapatumai patiria milžinišką perkaitą, nes jie nėra baigtiniai ir statiški, bet, atvirkščiai, kintantys, nuolat formuojami ir rekonstruojami. Šiuolaikinėje globalybėje didelį poveikį tapatumui daro virtualiosios informacijos pobūdis ir naujoji medijų kultūra, diktuojanti masinės sąmonės įvaizdžius, formas. Kultūrinės kaitos požiūriu tai reiškia, kad šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje jau nebelieka uždarų etninių bendruomenių ir kultūrų. Visas jas veikia ir susieja naujųjų medijų diktuojamų globaliųjų įvaizdžių, formų ir masinės kultūros produkcijos srautai. Globalizacijos procesai, keisdami nacionalines kultūras, skatina daugiakultūrių procesų savikūrą. Globaliųjų pokyčių kontekste europietiškoji tapatybė tampa unikaliu daugiakomponenčiu kultūriniu junginiu, grindžiamu daugialype ir skirtinga savęs identifikacija. Daugialypis identitetas gali egzistuoti tik tada, kai europietiškasis ir tautinis identitetas nėra supriešinamas, nėra suvokiamas kaip kartą ir visiems laikams susiformavusi konstanta. Europietiškasis arba europiečio identitetas savo ruožtu suvokiamas kaip buvimo europietiškosios kultūros dalimi jausmas. Todėl šiandien globalių daugiakultūrių pokyčių ir daugialypio identiteto pažinimas bei teorinių prieigų formavimas išlieka aktualiausiu teoriniu uždaviniu.

Full textAbstract:
The dramatic rise of identity anxieties in most parts of the world — as reflected in posttraditional movements in politics and postmodernist movements in art, architecture, and social theory — calls for an explanation. Also known disparagingly as fundamentalism or neoconservatism, posttraditionalism is often a response from the peripheral sectors of the population to the onslaught of rapid modernization, often accompanied by social disequilibria, income inequities, and feelings of relative deprivation. The Bible Belt in the United States, the oriental Jews in Israel, the rural and semi–urbanized Muslims in the Islamic world, the evangelical Protestants in Latin America, and the Hindu nationalists in secular India demonstrate the rich diversity and complexity of such political religions. By contrast, postmodernist movements are primarily situated in the intellectual circles of the contemporary world. In the face of an economically globalizing and technologically accelerating history, they represent a dual response to homogenizing forces by reasserting cultural pluralism and nihilism.

Full textAbstract:
From the postmodern theorists point of view, disabled bodies primarily are objects of performing the power, in several ways: from ?staring? as the act of labeling, to medicalization, rehabilitation and ?normalization?. Feminist theory of disability tends to combine gender and disability and to perceive them together as social construction products which ?deviate from standards?. In postmodern theories of gender, primarily in the works of Judith Butler and Elizabeth Grosz, there is a noticeable tendency to attach a dynamic, relational characteristic to gender, and to observe gender differences in the process of intersecting all other binary differences. In addition, in order to deconstruct sex/gender differences, an increasing emphasis is put on the body as a field for inscribing culturally constructed distinctions. This paper explores the possibility of synthesizing knowledge in the field of postmodern gender theories and postmodern understanding of disability. It examines how gender binarism intersects with binarism ?disability - nondisability,? and whether, at the level of ?disabled? bodies, gender differences become invisible.

I denna uppsats diskuteras föräldraskap och normer runt föräldraskap och hur dessa normer skapas.Uppsatsens syfte är, att med utgångspunkt i Anthony Giddens teori om expertsystem, analyseraföräldratidningar, med fokus på två olika teman gällande information och konsumtion och förklara hurdessa teman i tidningar skapar normer runt identiteten som förälder. Frågeställningarna handlar om hurföräldratidningar skapar identiteter kopplade till information och konsumtion samt hurföräldratidningar blir expertsystem för att forma identitet och normer. Det teoretiska avsnittet utgår frånAnthony Giddens expertsystem samt hur kultur och populärkultur definieras enligt Simon Lindgren ochDominic Strinati. Det teoretiska avsnittet avhandlar även hur postmodern populärkultur definieras ochhur identiteter formas i samhället relaterat till postmodern populärkultur. Den metod som har använts idenna uppsats är baserad på Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys samt Michel Foucaultsdiskursbegrepp. Resultaten visar att det finns diskurser kopplade till uppsatsens syfte genom atttidningarna blir en form av expertsystem då dessa tillhandahåller både handfasta råd ochrekommendationer till föräldrarna och dessa råd och rekommendationer bygger på information frånexperter. Det finns även finns diskurser kopplade till identitetsskapande och konsumtion och dessaåterkommer i samtliga tidningar. Resultaten kan emellertid diskuteras eftersom att diskursanalyshandlar om hur forskaren tolkat sitt material, men det finns dock ett flertal tydliga mönster somförekommer i tidningarna.

Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka om berättelsen kan fungera som katalysator för elevernas reflektion över sig själva och deras situation i ett postmodernt samhälle. Väsentliga frågor i sammanhanget blev dels huruvida de själva kunde bli medvetna om och reflektera över sina egna och andras strategier i en sådan omfattande social omvandling. Ett sådant fenomen som kom i fokus var vårt behov av ytliga statussymboler.Det i grunden kvalitativa arbetet bygger på tre synvinklar och tillika källor. För det första, mig själv som oundvikligt subjektivt filter; för det andra eleverna och för det tredje, mediala källor som på olika sätt har kunnat användas i sammanhanget.Under arbetets lopp har jag kommit fram till att arbetets informativa, reflektiva och diskursiva processer i sig utgjorde ett lika intressant material som slutsatserna.The purpose of this work has been to examine the function of storytelling as an induct-ive way to develop self reflection and environmental awareness of the students. Key subjects have been if they could be attentive to the very reflective process itself and to the strategies we apply, when to cope with dynamic changes as those of the postmodern society. Also the possibility to find basic explanations, to specially one of these strategies – one that has been more and more frequently used – became a pursuit in this work. The phenomenon in mind is our seemingly growing demand for “superficial valuables”.This work is basically qualitative. Three perspectives – as well as sources of inform-ation – have been developed through the process of this work: firstly, the inevitably subjective experiences of my own; secondly, the students; and thirdly, different forms of applicable public media. Especially the contribution from the students can’t be overstated. Initially it was them who made me aware of the phenomenon, described above. Moreover they gave input, partly through the literature seminar and the related discussion, partly through a minor enquiry consisting of a few but fundamental questions connected to the matter of “wealth” and “ability”.Quite early during the progression of this work I came to an understanding that the informative, the introspective and the communicative processes of the work itself constituted a most interesting substance. Hence, I made a more careful attempt to describe this development and my thoughts connected to it, rather than giving too much focus on the aftermath. Retrospectively seen, it presents somewhat self-evident answers of the two initial questions above. Yes, storytelling might work as a complement to more radical experiences of the real life. It can be used as a key to existential reflection in an urban security-devoting postmodern society. Also obviously, there seem to be more profound explanations to our quest for superficial valuables – needs beyond the very appeal. They could be connected to the natural instinct of individual survival through real or “illusory” acceptance and irreplaceability within one or more collective social orders – in short, the importance of being important.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka kontinuitet och förändring i holländares identitet(er) när de flyttar till Sverige. Teorier kring identitet och förändring/förhandling appliceras på empiri som framkommer ur intervjuer med fyra holländska informanter som har emigrerat till Sverige. Resultatet visar att identitet är något som informanterna anser vara relativt konstant under livets gång vad gäller personlighet, karaktärsdrag och nationalitet. Dock är de överens om att identitetsförändringar sker beroende på ålder och nya livsroller som exempelvis när man blir företagare eller förälder. Holländare och svenskar tycks vara så lika vad gäller utseende att myndigheter tror att även sociala, ekonomiska och politiska system liknar de svenska systemen. Hos de holländska informanterna finns dock ett behov att särskilja sig från svenskarna samtidigt som de vill integrera med svenskarna. Integrationsprocessen innebär även att i vissa sammanhang identifierar de sig som holländare och i andra sammanhang identifierar de sig mer som svenskar.The purpose of the thesis is to investigate continuity and change in Dutch peoples´ identities as they immigrate to Sweden. Identity and change/negotiation theories will be applied to empirical material gained from interviews with four Dutch participants who have immigrated to Sweden. The result shows that identity is something that the immigrants view as relatively constant through their lives what concerns personality, character and nationality. They agree that changes in identity occur when factors such as age and new roles in life as for an example when one becomes a company owner or a parent. Dutch and Swedish people seem to be the same when it comes to appearance that one thinks that even social, economic and political systems are the same as the Swedish systems. Because of this the Dutch participants seem to separate themselves from the Swedes and at the same time they want to integrate with the Swedes. The integration process contains that in some contexts the Dutch immigrant identify him-/herself as a Dutch person and in other contexts they identify more as a Swedish person.

Detta examensarbete är en fallstudie i hur kvinnliga klienter som söker vård för substansmissbruk upplever mötet med vården och socialtjänsten. Den utgår från djupintervjuer med fyra kvinnor som har haft missbruk och beroendeproblem. Vad som särskiljer dessa kvinnor är att de faller utanför ramarna av den traditionella bilden av den kvinnliga missbrukaren. Det finns ingen social utsatthet i form av våld, bostadslöshet, arbetslöshet eller prostitution som annars brukar vara närvarande. Samtliga av mina informanter är välanpassade och högst kompetenta samhällsmedborgare med arbete, akademisk utbildning, egna företag och bostad. Samtliga har vidare hamnat i kläm mellan olika hjälpinstanser då socialtjänsten i första hand är utformad för att tillhandahålla hjälp som syftar till att återanpassa och återinföra individer som av en eller annan anledning hamnat utanför samhället. Missbruksvården i sin tur kräver att man uppvisar flerårig dokumentation på sitt missbruk innan man blir aktuell för substitutionsvård, för detta krävs bl.a. att man ska vara aktuell hos socialtjänsten.This is a case study on how female clients seeking treatment for substance abuse are experiencing the treatment that the get in their dealings with the medical and social care services. It is based on interviews with four women who have had addiction and dependency problems. What distinguishes these women is that they fall outside the range of the traditional image of the female drug abuser. There is no social vulnerability in the form of violence, homelessness, unemployment, prostitution that otherwise tend to be present. All of my informants are well adjusted and highly competent members of society. They work, have academic education, private businesses and housing. My aim has been to shed light on these women's experiences of the treatment they have met in their dealings with the medical and social scare services.

Full textAbstract:
Around the world many people are affected by war, persecution, rebellion, famine, etc. and are therefore forced to move and start a new life elsewhere under new conditions. The struggle for survival is one of the factors that force children to escape. Being forced into emigration and immigration is evident in people's lives and affect how their identities are constructed. My study is focused on how refugee young people are constructing their identities in the complex context in which they live. The intersectional perspective – maintaining that power relations are created and recreated in interaction with factors such as gender, age, ethnicity and location – is the basis for my study. I have tried to understand how these factors affect refugee youth identity construction. In order to answer my questions and get an idea of whether the refugee youth identity constructions constitute a transition to better opportunities or creating identification problems, I have conducted an ethnographic study in a multicultural school in a suburb in Stockholm. The selected group of study consisted of six refugee young people between 14 and 19 years of age who attend a so-called preparatory class. All of them live with their families and they all have been living in Sweden for less than one year. I have focused on six thematic categories: background, gender, and ethnicity, social network, future and positioning. My choice of perspective on identity constructions is based on the premise that people are constantly looking for social recognition. When meeting other persons they are positioning themselves in different ways, by testing limits and facing the consequences, thereby constructing their identities. Exercise of power and powerlessness are expressed in different ways in their daily lives in which they are seeking their positions in a restricted social network. The result of my study shows that the informants are located in a field of tension between the quest for liberation and identification problems in the paradoxical context that they are in. The dilemma, on the one hand their wish to maintain their ethnic identity and on the other hand to question it, is expressed in their relation to “Swedishness” and the Swedish language. The informants are also using different strategies when they try to construct and maintain their gender identities. Their life chances vary depending on the options available. My informants did actually create an immigrant identity that stands as an antithesis of being Swedish. They all agree that they are striving for self-realization and a brighter future, a future that not least could render them some symbolic capital. But the path towards such goals does not seem to be an easy task.Ute i världen drabbas många människor av krig, förföljelse, uppror, svält m.m. och tvingas därför att flytta och starta ett nytt liv någon annanstans under nya villkor. Kampen för överlevnad är en av de faktorer som tvingar barn till flykt. Att tvingas till utvandring och invandring sätter spår i människors liv och påverkar hur deras identiteter konstrueras. Min studie tar sin utgångspunkt i hur flyktingungdomar konstruerar sina identiteter i den komplexa kontext som de befinner sig i. Det intersektionella perspektivet – som går ut på att maktrelationer skapas och omskapas i samspelet med faktorer såsom kön, ålder, etnicitet och plats – ligger till grund för min studie. Jag har försökt förstå hur dessa faktorer påverkar flyktingungdomarnas identitetskonstruktioner. För att besvara mina frågeställningar och få en uppfattning om huruvida flyktingungdomars identitetskonstruktioner utgör en övergång till bättre möjligheter eller skapar identifikationsproblem har jag genomfört en etnografisk studie i en mångkulturell skola i en av Stockholms förorter. Urvalsgruppen bestod av sex flyktingungdomar mellan 14 och 19 år som går i en så kallad förberedelseklass. Alla bor med sina familjer och alla har vistats i Sverige i mindre än ett år. Jag har utgått från sex tematiska kategorier: bakgrund, kön, etnicitet, nätverk, framtid och positionering. I mitt val av perspektiv på identitetskonstruktioner är utgångspunkten att människor ständigt söker socialt erkännande. I mötet med de andra positionerar de sig på olika sätt genom att testa gränser och möta konsekvenser, därigenom konstruerar de sina identiteter. Maktutövning och maktlöshet uttrycks på olika sätt i deras vardag där de söker sina platser i ett begränsat nätverk. Resultatet visar att informanterna befinner sig i ett spänningsfält mellan å ena sidan strävan efter bättre möjligheter och å andra sidan identifikationsproblem i den paradoxala kontext som de befinner sig i. Dilemmat med att å ena sidan vilja vidmakthålla sin etniska identitet och å andra sidan ifrågasätta den uttrycks i förhållandet till svenskhet och till det svenska språket. Informanterna använder sig också av olika strategier för att iscensätta och upprätthålla sina könsidentiteter. Deras livschanser varierar beroende på vilka möjligheter som erbjuds. Ungdomarna har konstruerat en invandraridentitet som står som motpol till svenskhet. De var alla eniga om att de strävar efter självförverkligande och en ljusare framtid, en framtid som inte minst kan skänka dem symboliskt kapital, men vägen dit tycks inte enkel.

Full textAbstract:
In numerous anthropological works there have been preoccupations about the relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Whatever social researchers have concluded, one thing is consistent: the tendency to interpret ethnographic "data" in terms of binary oppositions. This dissertation reviews the works which have been centered upon binary oppositions, as for instance, in the case of Yucatan, between the Maya and the Dzul-the Yucatec Maya term for white males-and highlights the fact that such works have failed to recognize that within and between each "pole," or social group there are individuals that have multiple identities, and that do not recognize themselves as belonging to a homogenized "pole." Instead, these individuals, recognize themselves as belonging to different groups and, therefore, being aware that they have not a single identity but multiple ones.
Analogical anthropology is highly criticized because of its emphasis on binary oppositions, its authoritarianism, and the notion of the "Other." In contrast, dialogical anthropology places great importance on the relationship between the individuals and the anthropologist. A relation in which both, the anthropologist and the subject, are immersed in a dialogue, because of the identification between the writer and the story that is being written.
However, anthropologists seem to be more interested in "dialoguing" among themselves rather than with the people that they write about. Indigenous people are relegated, they are voiceless, and, therefore, we keep treating them as "objects," and not as individuals. This is ironic, precisely because it undermines the aim of the dialogical discourse.
In this context, awareness of self-identity or self-identities and the various ways in which Francisco, a good friend and the main character of this dissertation, assumes them, and the way I assume them, within multicultural contexts, leads us along the road to establish and reestablish communication. The methodology is based on four considerations: positioning, fieldwork conversations, self reflexivity and vulnerability. Hence, this dissertation constitutes an attempt to break with authoritarian models of ethnography, it is a dialogue between Francisco and me, a conversation among ourselves. A dialogue that expresses the desire of hearing our voices being echoed by each other.

Full textAbstract:
In this mini-dissertation the ongoing battle between the self and late-capitalist society is explored as a theoretical response to the notion of the fragmented subject in relation to postmodernism. Frederic Jameson links the schizophrenic subject and postmodern culture explicitly to societal changes in Western economies: this author's tradition outlines a main part of my theoretical stance within this mini-dissertation. Jameson, decisive in his criticism of current popular culture that has formed as a result of postmodernism, conveys a key dystopic viewpoint in his association of schizophrenia with postmodernism and late-capitalism. This sentiment is echoed in this mini-dissertation, as it is my belief that capitalist consumption habits and pastiche are interrelated in current popular visual culture, simulating a schizoid experience which consumers in turn mirror when formulating a sense of self. An essentially fragmented (postmodern) viewpoint with regard to postmodern visual culture is argued, and is aligned with Jameson's perspective on how subjects form identities within late capitalism, with pastiche and consumption labelled as the main causes of the contemporary societal problem of fragmentation. The main contention of the study is thus that contemporary consumption practices, through the stylistic acceptance of pastiche, are the current causes of fragmentation within the self. This naturalisation of postmodern montage and pastiche, in my opinion, effectively disorientates consumers, as similar techniques that are adopted in consumer culture are applied to identity formation, thus contributing to a sense of egolessness, a key characteristic of schizophrenia. Focus is placed on visual examples that highlight postmodern techniques of nostalgic image recycling, aligned to similar postmodern identity models, with parallels drawn between the fragmenting individual and the consuming individual. As exceedingly discontinuous processes of change occur through capitalist consumption habits that are emblematic characteristics of the postmodern condition, it is thus my belief that current postmodern visual culture contributes to an overall fragmented experience of the individual, where consumer practices are negatively affecting identity construction, and thus spurring on further cultural fragmentation and social disintegration.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of theories and models of radicalization existing in psychology and sociology is given. The complexity and transitivity of the world, the emerging methodological trends in psychology, the change of postmodern discourse to metamodernism require new psychological approaches to a research of this phenomenon, which can take into account the role of cultural factors and anthropological turn, as well as space and time as ontological constants of reality. Theoretical: theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific literature, comparison, generalization, interpretation. The paper summarizes a number of empirical studies of the authors related to the problems of extremism. The goal is to consider the evolution of ideas about the radicalization of protest activity and substantiate the high relevance of the subject-being approach to explain the problem of extremism. The authors distinguish six main theories and models that reveal the nature of radicalization: the theory of anomy (R. Merton), the theory of "relative deprivation" (T. Garr), the concept of an authoritarian personality (A. Adorno), a model of social identity in collective activity (M. Van Zomeren ), the model of radicalization (R. Borum), the model of radicalization (F. Mohaddam). The authors note the demand for a metamodern methodological strategy, which makes it possible to record personal transformations and construct new images of a person. The authors come to the conclusion that the substantive differences in approaches lie in the influence quantity of external determinants causing the emergence of radical attitudes. In the development of the theme of extremism, the main ones are the principle of the unity of the personality and its being, the methodological principle of subjectivity and the principle of uncertainty, which reveal additional nuances of the phenomenon that increases cognitive capabilities. The conditions of the subject-being approach are considered and the concept of protest activity is presented, based on the notions of "existential personal identity", "subjective activity", "subjectivity", revealing the reasons for negative transformation of personality, considering extremism as a violation of the developing configuration of identity. The subject-being approach to the personality is recognized as the most efficient theoretical and methodological basis for researching this problem, since it allows us to overcome the deficiency of the content given by the deterministic interpretation of radicalization.
