Abstract

SARASTY, Oscar Martin ROSERO. Understanding contemporary identities from Foucault approaches. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.31, pp.417-432. ISSN 1514-6871.

The article upholds identity conception as a matter of articulation between forms and positions that are defined from the view of institutionalities for those subjects and practices of relation that exist whith himself and determine particular shapes of self-constitution of their subjectivity.

Aproaches from Stuart Hall and Michelle Foucault regarding the double condition of subjection/subjectivation from which subjectivities and subjetcs are constructed, are used as foundation. This perspective tries to overcome essentialist visions, of coherence and stability to considerer identities as a complex, dispersed framework linked to the historical conditions and contexts in which they are built; issue that turns out to be of interest to understand identities in the context of varied and volatile conditions of contemporany life.

Keywords : identity; subject; subjection; subjectivation.
